What is XLR file?

An XLR file is a data file created by Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice Calc. It belongs to the family of .XLS/.XLSX workbook formats, and it is based on the old spreadsheet format from the DOS era program called Lotus 1-2-3. An XLR file has the same number of columns and data as an Excel workbook, but since it doesn't support any features beyond those available in versions prior to Excel 5.0 and higher the data is stored in a less compact way. This means that XLR files are larger than XLS files. [ ⏩ ] XLR file extension

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. WDB to XLR. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting WDB files to XLR 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 XLR, while before this step we had the WDB file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XLR file, or not.
