Microsoft Works was discontinued years ago, still many users can find old spreadsheets (.xlr) saved by it on their old computers. Many wonder how to either import these files (or the data) to Excel, or directly convert the files to XLSX format.
Microsoft dropped the support for Works format unfortunately, so you might either need older version of Excel or to download Works from some abandonware website, such as the WinWorld library.
