Frequently Asked Questions
Which sheet is exported when converting XLS to CSV?
The first (active) sheet is exported. To export a different sheet, open the file in Excel and make that sheet active first.
Are XLS formulas preserved when converting to CSV?
No. CSV stores only the calculated values, not the formulas.
What is the difference between XLS and XLSX?
XLS is the older binary Excel format (Excel 97-2003). XLSX is the modern XML-based format (Excel 2007+). XLSX is recommended for new files.
Can I import the XLS-to-CSV output into a database?
Yes. Most databases support CSV import. Use your database's import tool or a script to load the data.
What encoding does the XLS-to-CSV output use?
The output uses UTF-8 encoding, which supports all languages and special characters.
Can I convert an XLS file with multiple sheets to CSV?
The tool exports the first sheet. To export other sheets, open the file in Excel and make the desired sheet active before converting.
Does the XLS-to-CSV output preserve number formatting?
CSV stores raw values. Numbers are stored as plain text without currency symbols or decimal formatting.
