About the formats

What is TSV?

TSV (tab-separated values) is a plain-text format for tables: each line is a row and each field is separated by a tab character. Because commas inside the data need no quoting, TSV is often simpler to parse than CSV. Spreadsheets, databases and command-line tools read it without trouble.

Use TSV when your data contains many commas, such as addresses, descriptions or numbers with decimal commas, or when pasting between spreadsheets, which copy cells as tab-separated text. If the receiving system expects CSV, stick to CSV.

What is XLSX?

XLSX (Excel Open XML) is the standard spreadsheet format from Microsoft Excel, also supported by Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Data is organised into cells and sheets, with support for formulas, functions, charts and formatting. Because the file is a ZIP container of XML, its content stays readable and easy to process.

Use XLSX for tabular data that needs structure and calculation, budgets, inventories, lists and anything with formulas or multiple sheets. When you only need the raw data, you can export a single sheet to CSV or JSON here.
