- Description
- The xlsb file type is a binary file format used to store Excel spreadsheets. It is a compressed version of the xlsx file type and can only be opened in the Microsoft Excel application. Compared to the xlsx, the xlsb format is much smaller in size and is less prone to corruption.
- A CSV file is a comma separated values file commonly used by spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc. It contains plain text data sets separated by commas with each new line in the CSV file representing a new database row and each database row consisting of one or more fields separated by a comma. CSV files are often opened by spreadsheet programs to be organized into cells or used for transferring data between databases.
