What is a .XLSB file?

XLSB is the binary version of a Microsoft Excel workbook, storing cells in the compact BIFF12 record format instead of XLSX’s XML. It opens and recalculates faster and makes smaller files, so it is popular for very large spreadsheets.

Did you know
  • XLSB arrived with Excel 2007 alongside XLSX; the two hold the same data, but the binary XLSB opens noticeably faster on big workbooks.
  • Analyser handles .XLSB alongside related formats such as .DOCX, .DOCM, .DOTX and more.
  • In Analyser's format library, .XLSB sits in the Documents & e-books category.
