File extension .GBD
GBD is a file extension associated with the .GBD data format. It is commonly used by Microsoft Windows-based programs, such as Microsoft Excel, to store budget information. The full name of the format is Great Budget Definition, since it is generally used to store budget-related information. Essentially, GBD files allow users to easily store and organize their budget data into a single file.
Similar to other spreadsheet formats, such as .XLSX, .ODS, and .CVS, .GBD files support multidimensional data storage, meaning data can be organized according to row and columns contained in tables. To access and edit data stored in a GBD file, users need a compatible program - such as Microsoft Excel - that supports addressing the data by its row and column coordinates.
Unique Features of GBD Files
In addition to its standard features, the GBD file format also has unique features that make it an ideal solution for storing budget-specific information. It includes support for currency conversion - making it easier for businesses with international presence to repurpose budget information for worldwide operations. GBD also supports collision detection between different tables in the same file. This allows users to make certain entries without risking any inconsistent or duplicate data entries.
Converting GBD Files
As with most other spreadsheet formats, a user can open an existing .GBD file in Microsoft Excel or other compatible software, then convert it into another format like .XLSX of .ODS, depending on the desired output format. Although all of the data will remain intact, some of the unique features of the .GBD file format may be lost during conversion.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .GBD) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .GBD extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .GBD file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .GBD extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .GBD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .GBD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .GBD file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .GBD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .GBD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .GBD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
