How to convert xlt to csv file

When an inventory or data-import system accepts CSV but not Excel templates, the spreadsheet’s tabular content must be exported in a format that system can read. CSV is also useful for exchanging worksheet data with software that expects plain-text rows and columns.

What the XLT format is

XLT is the Excel 97–2003 template format. It stores a reusable spreadsheet structure, including possible formatting, formulas, labels, and layouts. Microsoft Excel creates and opens XLT files; LibreOffice Calc can also open them.

What the CSV format is

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) stores tabular data as plain text, with fields separated by a character such as a comma or semicolon. Its simple structure is supported by many databases, import tools, and spreadsheet programs. CSV does not retain cell formatting, formulas as formulas, or multiple worksheets in one file.

How to convert an XLT file to CSV

Online on 101convert.com

Upload the XLT file on the converter page. You can add several files for batch conversion; the per-file size limit is shown on the page.
Before converting, set the column separator, character encoding, and sheets to export.
Convert the file and download the CSV result. Conversion runs on the site’s server with LibreOffice.

Offline with desktop software

LibreOffice Calc is free and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the XLT file, choose File → Save As, select Text CSV (.csv) as the file type, and save. In the export dialog, choose the separator and character encoding, then confirm the CSV format prompt.

Microsoft Excel runs on Windows and macOS. Open the XLT file; Excel may create a new workbook from the template. Choose File → Save As and select a CSV format, such as CSV UTF-8 if available. Save the workbook and confirm any format warning.

Quality and compatibility

Each CSV file contains data from one worksheet, so select the intended sheet when exporting a workbook with multiple sheets. Formatting and template structure are discarded; formula cells are exported as their calculated values, not as editable formulas. A blank template may produce an empty or mostly empty CSV. Check the separator if the receiving program puts fields in the wrong columns, and check the encoding if non-ASCII characters display incorrectly.
