XLSM is a spreadsheet file format. Inettools converters use it for uploading and converting tabular documents between supported formats.

XLS is the most popular and common format for creating and editing spreadsheets. It takes its name from Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, is created using the Microsoft Excel system utility. Document data is stored in certain table cells that have their own address. In cells of XLS files, not only fixed data can be located, but also formulas that allow you to relate the content of information in different cells. Like text formats, XLS makes it possible to format the contents of cells - font, font style, color, text alignment. Files of this format can also be launched using Google Drive.
