Converting an EXE (executable file) to XLSX (Excel spreadsheet file) is not straightforward because the two file types serve entirely different purposes. EXE files are designed to execute programs or scripts, while XLSX files store structured data for use in spreadsheets. However, if an EXE file generates or contains data you want in an XLSX format, the solution lies in extracting that data.
Always ensure the EXE file is safe to run before executing it, as unknown executable files can pose security risks.
The most common method involves running the EXE file to see if it outputs data, such as reports or logs, in a readable format like CSV, TXT, or even directly to Excel. If the EXE file generates such output, save the data and open it in Excel. From there, you can save the file in the XLSX format. If the EXE doesn’t natively export data, you may need to use third-party tools or scripting techniques to extract relevant data and convert it into a structured format suitable for Excel.
Most cases of exe to xlsx conversion involve extracting an Excel spreadsheet from self-extracting archives, but direct file conversion is unlikely.
