About XLSB

XLSB stores the same workbook as XLSX but in binary records instead of XML, which makes the file smaller and faster to open and save. It is used for huge models and for workbooks that mix a lot of formulas. Few tools outside Office read it.

XLSB is a binary format that many tools and scripts cannot read. XLSB opens quickly in Excel even when the workbook is large.
