XLSX to SHP Conversion
What are XLSX files?
XLSX is the standard Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file, in use since Excel 2007. It stores workbooks with one or many sheets of tables, numbers, text, dates, formulas, charts, pivot tables, and formatting. A sheet can hold more than a million rows, the files are compact, and they open on Windows, Mac, phones, and in online services, and many programs can read and write them. XLSX is the usual format for budgets, price lists, reports, and data exchange.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
