| Microsoft Excel 2007/2010 Open XML Macro-enabled Add-in Format | Microsoft | Plugin Files |
The XLAM file extension is used by spreadsheets developed with Microsoft Excel. XLAM files are Microsoft Excel Open XML Macro-Enabled Add-In files, similar to XLSM files, and contain user-made functions, settings, and macros.
What It Is
XLAM files are saved in an XML-based file format, using the XML Enable Macro Language for Excel. This particular file type is referred to as a “workbook”, which is a compilation of macros, functions and worksheets that can be used in Excel spreadsheets.
What It Does
XLAM files can be used to add additional features or capabilities to spreadsheets that have been created within Microsoft Excel. For instance, this file type may contain formulas that can be used by users to calculate values on their relevant spreadsheet. Additionally, XLAM files might contain custom scripts that are used to automate tasks within the spreadsheet contents. Similar file extensions include XLSX, XLSB, and XLSM.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XLAM) 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 .XLAM 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 .XLAM 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 .XLAM 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 .XLAM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XLAM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XLAM 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 .XLAM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XLAM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .XLAM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
