What is XLAM file format?

The XLAM file format is an extension used for Microsoft Excel add-in files. Add-ins are additional programs or functionality that can be added to Excel to extend its capabilities. XLAM files contain macros, user-defined functions, custom toolbars, and other automation features that enhance Excel’s functionality.

XLAM files are saved in a compiled format, which means that the code within the file is pre-compiled and ready to be executed by Excel. This offers improved performance compared to other file formats that store macros in a source code format (such as XLSM files). Additionally, XLAM files are typically password-protected to prevent unauthorized access and modifications to the code.

When an XLAM file is installed as an add-in in Excel, its functionality becomes available across multiple workbooks. This allows users to access and use the macros and custom functions provided by the add-in without having to copy the code to each individual workbook. XLAM files can be distributed and shared with others, enabling consistent automation across different Excel environments.

To use an XLAM file, it needs to be installed as an add-in in Excel. This can be done by going to the Excel Options menu, selecting the Add-Ins tab, and browsing for the XLAM file to add it as an add-in. Once installed, the macros and functions provided by the XLAM file can be accessed and used within Excel.

What is DIF file format?

DIF (Data Interchange Format) is an ASCII-based, tabular format for exchanging data between different programs and platforms. It is a text-based data exchange format developed by Lotus, a spreadsheet program. It stores data in a tabular form and supports basic data types, such as numbers and strings. DIF was initially developed to store spreadsheet data, but it is also used to transfer data between relational databases, non-relational databases, spreadsheets, text editors and other programs. It supports multiple sheets, columns, titles and comments. It also has features to help protect the integrity of the data, such as automatic type checking and range checking. DIF is still popular today, and is supported by several popular tools, such as Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, and GNUstep. It is also used by some development frameworks and programming languages, such as Delphi and Visual Basic. In short, DIF is a reliable and easy-to-use data exchange format that is still used in many programs and platforms today. It is a great choice for exchanging data between different programs and platforms, and is also a good option for archiving data.
