The XLSX file format, on the other hand, is a standard Excel workbook file. It is also based on the Open XML format and is widely used for storing spreadsheet data, including charts, tables, and formulas. XLSX files are highly compatible with various spreadsheet applications and are commonly used for data analysis and reporting.
