A simple overview of the features and benefits of the formats
XLSX is a modern spreadsheet format developed by Microsoft, serving as the default file type for Excel since Office 2007. It is based on the Open XML standard, where data is stored as compressed ZIP archives, reducing file size and enabling faster processing. XLSX files support spreadsheets, charts, graphs, complex mathematical formulas, and data analysis. Besides Microsoft Excel, XLSX files are compatible with Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and Apple Numbers.
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain text file format used for storing and transferring tabular data. Each line in a CSV file represents a separate row, with column values separated by delimiters such as commas, semicolons, or quotation marks. CSV files are recognized by nearly all spreadsheet programs, making them ideal for exporting and exchanging data between different applications. However, unlike XLSX, CSV files do not support charts, formulas, formatting, or macros.
