Convert DPS to XLS

Understanding dps and xls file formats

DPS files are spreadsheet documents created by Kingsoft WPS Office Spreadsheets, a popular office suite in China and other regions. DPS is similar to Microsoft Excel's XLS format but is native to WPS Office. XLS is the proprietary spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel (up to Excel 2003), widely recognized for its compatibility and support across various platforms.

Why convert dps to xls?

Converting DPS to XLS is essential for users who need to share or edit spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel or other applications that do not natively support the DPS format. XLS files offer broader compatibility and easier collaboration.

How to convert dps to xls

The most reliable way to convert DPS to XLS is by using WPS Office Spreadsheets itself, as it provides native support for both formats. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your DPS file in WPS Office Spreadsheets.
• Go to File → Save As.
• In the Save as type dropdown, select Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls).
• Click Save to export your file as an XLS document.
