.BIFFFile extension BIFF description:
The use of .biff extensions enable more accurate downloads to Excel than the more utilised .dif extensions in that...
If the nomenclature or descriptor in the originating file ends with an inverted comma (") then .dif inspired downloads will project the subsequent downloaded item/row to the right of the "offending" item, thereby creating the possibility of overlooked data within the resultant Excel File.
Using .biff(n) (n=8, being the most recent) extensions overrides that particular problem and provides constant data capture in Excel, without the risk of mis-delineation of information as a result of the (") terminating narrative/descriptor.

Microsoft Office Excel is a powerful tool you can use to create and format spreadsheets, and analyze and share information to make more informed decisions. With the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface, rich data visualization, and PivotTable views, professional-looking charts are easier to create and use. Office Excel, combined with Excel Services, a new technology that will ship with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, provides significant improvements for sharing data with greater security. You can share sensitive business information more broadly with enhanced security with your coworkers, customers, and business partners. By sharing a spreadsheet using Office Excel and Excel Services, you can navigate, sort, filter, input parameters, and interact with PivotTable views directly on the Web browser.
