Convert WB2 to XLSX

Understanding WB2 and XLSX file formats

The WB2 file format is associated with Quattro Pro, a spreadsheet application that was part of the Corel WordPerfect Office suite. Quattro Pro was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, and the WB2 format was used to store spreadsheet data, including formulas, charts, and other elements.

On the other hand, the XLSX file format is a modern spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel. Introduced with Excel 2007, XLSX is based on the Open XML format, which allows for more efficient data management and better compatibility with other software. XLSX files can store a wide range of data, including text, numbers, formulas, and multimedia elements.
