WKS is a spreadsheet document format associated with Microsoft Works. Spreadsheets documents store data in cells organized in rows and columns. Microsoft Works is a simplified versions of Microsoft Excel. Microsoft Excel supports WKS files up to version 2003.
Files with the .XLSX extension contain spreadsheets compressed in ZIP format, stored in an open format based on XML – Office Open XML. It was introduced into Microsoft Office suite since its 2007 version, in order to provide higher format portability.
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 WKS file after converting to XLSX may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from WKS to XLSX 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 WKS to XLSX does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in WKS format, properly converted to a XLSX file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file WKS the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of WKS file to other than XLSX. 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 WKS file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to XLSX 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 WKS file in its original format (without conversion to XLSX file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
