What is SLK file?
The SLK file extension is a symbolic link file utilized by various computer applications as a means to reference other files. A SLK folder is designated as a "shortcut" directory in the hard drive's data structure, that points to another directory or set of files. It is the same as creating a shortcut icon in Windows OS, where users click on the SLK file extension icon to open the targeted directory. This type of file facilitates quick access to files that are frequently used. [ ⏩ ] SLK file extension
What is XLSX file?
XLSX is a file extension associated with .xlsx files containing spreadsheet data. It is used by modern versions of Microsoft Office Excel, which stores spreadsheet information in an encrypted Open XML format, making it compatible with most operating systems. XLSX files save data in cells that can be arranged with both text and graphical elements such as charts and images. The structure of this kind of file allows for quick calculations and analysis of data, as well as powerful graphing tools. [ ⏩ ] XLSX file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from SLK to XLSX?
To successfully convert the SLK file to XLSX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SLK). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case XLSX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than XLSX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SLK to XLSX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SLK files to XLSX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension XLSX, while before this step we had the SLK file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XLSX file, or not.
