FAQ
XLSM to MIF Conversion
What are XLSM files?
XLSM is a Microsoft Excel workbook that can contain macros, which are small programs written in the VBA language that automate work with tables. Such a file looks like an ordinary XLSX workbook, and the macros can add buttons, forms, calculations, data import, and report generation. Excel blocks the macros until the user allows them, because a macro from an unknown source can be harmful, so an XLSM file should be opened only if it comes from a trusted sender.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
