What is XLK file?
XLK is the file extension associated with Microsoft Excel, a spreadsheet program for Windows from Microsoft Office. XLK is short for Excel backup. It is a backup copy of an Excel worksheet saved in binary format and generally includes the entire contents of a worksheet including formulas, attributes, data, etc. XLK files are typically created automatically in .xlk or temporary .tmp format when saving an Excel worksheet.

How to convert the file from XCEL to XLK?
To successfully convert the XCEL file to XLK, 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.XCEL). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case XLK (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 XLK).
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. XCEL to XLK. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting XCEL files to XLK 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 XLK, while before this step we had the XCEL file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XLK file, or not.
