MS Excel 2007 XML to CSV conversion is the process of transforming a workbook saved in the XLSX format (the Office Open XML spreadsheet format introduced with Excel 2007) into a plain-text Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file. This conversion extracts sheet data, headers, and cell values into a row/column text representation suitable for import into databases, analytics tools, or other spreadsheet applications.
