Convert XLS to WPS

Understanding XLS and WPS file formats

The XLS file format is a spreadsheet file created by Microsoft Excel, part of the Microsoft Office suite. It is used to store data in a tabular form, including numbers, text, formulas, and other data types. XLS files are widely used for financial analysis, data management, and other applications requiring organized data.

The WPS file format is associated with Microsoft Works, a discontinued office suite. WPS files are similar to Microsoft Word documents but have fewer features. They are used for word processing tasks and can contain text, images, and basic formatting.

How to convert XLS to WPS

Converting an XLS file to a WPS file involves changing a spreadsheet format to a word processing format. This process may require some adjustments to ensure the data is presented correctly in the WPS file.

Best software for XLS to WPS conversion

One of the best software options for converting XLS to WPS is Microsoft Excel itself, as it allows you to open and manipulate XLS files. However, since Microsoft Works is discontinued, you may need to use alternative software like LibreOffice or WPS Office for the conversion.

To convert using LibreOffice:

• Open the XLS file in LibreOffice Calc.
• Go to File → Save As.
• Select the desired format that is compatible with WPS, such as DOC or RTF.
• Save the file.

To convert using WPS Office:
