The 123 file format is a proprietary file format developed by the Lotus Development Corporation for use with its Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet software. It is a binary file format, which means that it stores data in a binary format that is not easily readable by humans.
An XLTX file is a template created by Microsoft Excel, a program used for creating spreadsheets.
