Про конвертацію XLSM у XLSX
XLSM and XLSX are both modern OOXML Excel formats — the only difference is that XLSM contains VBA macro code while XLSX explicitly prohibits macros. Both use the same ZIP-compressed XML structure for worksheets, formulas, formatting, charts, and pivot tables. The .xlsm extension signals to Excel that the file may contain executable macro code.
Converting XLSM to XLSX strips all VBA macro code from the workbook while preserving all worksheet data, formulas, formatting, and features — producing a macro-free spreadsheet that is safer to distribute and won't trigger macro security warnings.
Навіщо конвертувати XLSM у XLSX?
Many organizations block XLSM files in email attachments and file sharing as a security measure, since VBA macros can contain malicious code. Converting to XLSX removes the macro payload, allowing the workbook to pass through email filters and security scanners without triggering alerts.
XLSX is also preferred when sharing spreadsheet data with external parties who don't need the automation. Stripping macros reduces file size, eliminates security concerns, and produces a cleaner deliverable focused purely on the data and analysis.
Типові сценарії використання
- Strip macros from XLSM reports before sending to external clients via email
- Convert XLSM templates to XLSX for distribution to users who don't need macro functionality
- Remove VBA code from workbooks to pass enterprise email security filters
- Produce macro-free XLSX versions of financial models for auditor review
- Clean XLSM workbooks before uploading to cloud platforms that block macro-enabled files
Як це працює
LibreOffice opens the XLSM file and saves as XLSX, preserving all OOXML worksheet content while omitting the VBA project storage. Cell values, formulas, formatting, conditional formatting, charts, pivot tables, data validation, named ranges, and sheet structure are all preserved identically — the underlying XML structure is virtually the same. Only the vbaProject.bin binary storage (containing VBA modules, forms, and class modules) is removed.
Якість і продуктивність
Conversion is essentially lossless for worksheet content. Every cell value, formula, format, chart, and feature is preserved identically since both formats use the same OOXML schema. The only change is the removal of VBA macro code. Computed cell values remain as they were when macros last ran — but the macros themselves are gone, so automated recalculation won't happen.

Поради для найкращих результатів
- 1Run all macros before converting to ensure computed values are current — they won't auto-update in XLSX
- 2Keep the original XLSM file if you may need the macro functionality later
- 3XLSX passes through most email security filters that block XLSM attachments
- 4File size will decrease slightly since VBA project storage is removed
- 5Verify that no cells depend on macro-driven calculations after conversion
