How to convert xlsm to csv file

Pretty much every spreadsheet file, including Excel spreadsheets (.xls) can be exported to Comma Separated Value  format(.csv), which is a text file that contains specially formatted data.

Understanding XLSM and CSV file formats

XLSM is a file format used by Microsoft Excel that supports macros, which are automated scripts written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). These files are typically used for complex spreadsheets that require automation and advanced data manipulation.

CSV stands for Comma-Separated Values. It is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database, in plain text form. Each line of the file is a data record, and each record consists of one or more fields separated by commas. CSV files are widely used for data exchange between different applications.

How to convert XLSM to CSV

Converting an XLSM file to a CSV file involves extracting the data from the Excel spreadsheet and saving it in a plain text format. This process does not support macros, so any automation scripts in the XLSM file will not be transferred to the CSV file.

Best software for XLSM to CSV conversion

One of the best software options for converting XLSM to CSV is Microsoft Excel itself. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Open the XLSM file in Microsoft Excel.
  • Go to FileSave As.
  • Select the location where you want to save the file.
  • In the Save as type dropdown, select CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv).
  • Click Save.

Another option is to use online converters like Zamzar or Convertio, which allow you to upload your XLSM file and download the converted CSV file.
