Understanding SKV and XLS file formats

The SKV file format, short for Semicolon-Separated Values, is a type of text file that uses a semicolon to separate values. It is similar to CSV (Comma-Separated Values) but uses a different delimiter. SKV files are often used for data exchange between applications that require a specific delimiter.

The XLS file format is a proprietary format developed by Microsoft for its Excel spreadsheet software. It is widely used for storing and analyzing data in a tabular form, supporting complex calculations, charts, and formatting options.

How to convert SKV to XLS

Converting an SKV file to an XLS file involves importing the SKV data into a spreadsheet application and saving it in the XLS format. This process allows you to take advantage of Excel's powerful data manipulation and visualization features.
