Understanding ppt and xlsx file formats

PPT is the file extension for Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, commonly used for creating slideshows with text, images, charts, and multimedia. XLSX is the file extension for Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, designed for organizing, analyzing, and storing data in tabular form with support for formulas, charts, and more.

Why convert ppt to xlsx?

Converting a PPT file to XLSX is useful when you need to extract tabular data, lists, or structured information from a presentation and analyze or manipulate it in Excel. This is common for business reports, survey results, or financial data originally presented in slides.
