The Microsoft Excel Binary File format, with the .xls extension and referred to as XLS or MS-XLS, was the default format used for spreadsheets in Excel through Microsoft Office 2003. The format is also referred to as Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF) in Microsoft's technical documentation. This format description is primarily for version 8 of BIFF (BIFF8), introduced with Excel 97 in 1997. Although it cannot support the latest functionality of the Excel application, BIFF8 has continued to be available as an alternative to the XLSX/OOXML format, standardized as ISO/IEC 29500, for saving spreadsheet files in Excel. As of late 2019, the documentation for File formats that are supported in Excel, from Microsoft, lists two variants of XLS format, distinguishing between "Excel 5.0/95 Binary file format" and "Excel 97-Excel 2003 Binary file format." These correspond to BIFF5 and BIFF8, respectively. See Notes below for more detail on versions of BIFF.




Microsoft Excel 97 2003



The XLS page at fileformats.archiveteam.org lists some open-source software libraries available for manipulating files in the binary file format used as the native format by Microsoft Excel 97, 2000, 2002, and Office Excel 2003. Weaponized MS Office 97-2003 legacy/binary formats (doc, xls, ppt, ...) also lists software libraries. Python "packages" for working with .xls files are listed at Working with Excel Files in Python. The compilers of this resource have not determined the extent to which any of the software listed in these resources is actively maintained. Comments welcome.


Versions of BIFF, the "binary interchange file format," were used as the default formats for Excel spreadsheets, with the file extension .xls, until superseded in Excel 2007 by the XML-based XLSX/OOXML. Excel spreadsheet files with the .xls extension are not all in a single format. For versions of Excel through Excel 4.0 (1992), spreadsheet files could contain only a single worksheet; those early XLS files consisted of a single BIFF stream (through BIFF4). About the .xls binary format, a description from FreeXML, an open-source library to extract data from an XLS spreadsheet, indicates, "There is no .xls file format. It's really a common file suffix applied to many different things." The FreeXML description has a table relating the different versions of BIFF to versions of Excel. Useful details of the early formats are in OpenOffice.org's Documentation of the Microsoft Excel File Format, covering Excel versions 2, 3, 4, 5, 95, 97, 2000, XP, and 2003. Microsoft's own 2007 documentation for the .xls format is available as Microsoft Office Excel 97-2007 Binary File Format Specification [*.xls], which covers BIFF documentation for Excel versions 5, 95, 97, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2007.
