DIF is a spreadsheet data interchange format that stores data in plain text. The format is standardized, meaning that exporting data to a DIF file preserves the data layout and can be directly imported to other spreadsheet programs.
Files with .SXC extension store spreadsheets documents created with StarOffice. SXC files support standard spreadsheet functions, including: charts, formulas, functions, macros. SXC is the official standard for spreadsheet documents used by OpenOffice.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the DIF file after converting to SXC may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from DIF to SXC to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting DIF to SXC does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DIF format, properly converted to a SXC file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DIF the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DIF file to other than SXC. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DIF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to SXC on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DIF file in its original format (without conversion to SXC file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
