Converting XLS files into formats more accessible or usable in a specific application can be as easy as a cut-and-paste operation for basic tables. Add a formula or two or create something more complex than a plain table, and cut-and-paste approach is no longer an option.

XLS Converter offers a quick and simple way to convertXLS files into a variety of other formats. Destination formats include plain text (TXT), Web pages (HTML), DBF, XML, comma-separated values (CSV), SQL, and formatted RTF formats. Converting an Excel spreadsheet into just about anything else is as easy as a few mouse clicks!

What if you don't have Microsoft Excel installed, and still need to access information from a spreadsheet? Unlike most similar converters, Advanced XLS Converter will work perfectly whether or not you have Microsoft Office installed.

Have a huge pile of Excel spreadsheets to convert? Advanced XLS Converter is super-fast, converting small, large and huge Excel spreadsheets in a fast and efficient manner. In fact, the conversion occurs faster than it takes Microsoft Excel to just open the spreadsheet! You can convert single spreadsheets or entire directories full of Excel spreadsheets just as easily.

Most users buying Advanced XLS Converter are using it for Excel spreadsheets that are way more complex than simple tables. Sophisticated data structures, dynamic calculations and formatting are often present in these Excel spreadsheets. Advanced XLS Converter can handle those spreadsheets no matter how advanced formatting, structures or calculations are there. Depending on the destination format, it will produce files that contain all or most of the features of the original Excel spreadsheet. Of course, if you want a plain-text file, no fancy formatting or mathematical formulas will be included, but RTF files it produces look just like the original Excel spreadsheet, and SQL files will have all the original formulas and calculations. You can preview, sort, filter, modify and format Excel spreadsheets right in the editor built into Advanced XLS Converter – no need to have Microsoft Excel installed!

Over ten destination formats are currently supported, including Dbase III/IV, Visual FoxPro, plain text, HTML, Clipper/FoxPro PRG, XML, native Excel, CSV, SQL, and formatted RTF. You don't have to install any of these applications in order to produce valid files in their respective formats. Supporting all versions of Windows since Windows 95 and up to the latest Windows 7, Advanced XLS Converter is free to try.
