This is a Microsoft Excel template format used to build multiple XLSX files that contain the same layouts, formatting, and settings.

The following free software can open the XLTX format as well; they just can't save the file back to XLTX (it has to be saved as something else like XLSX or XLT): OpenOffice Calc, LibreOffice Calc, and SoftMaker FreeOffice PlanMaker. You can also open the file with a file decompression tool, since XLTX files are actually archives.

However, it's hardly a useful way to view the file's contents, since it doesn't display the document like it would when opened in Excel or the other spreadsheet programs we mentioned. If you do want to go this route, for whatever reason, 7-Zip and PeaZip are two file decompression tools that could be used to open the XLTX file as an archive. If you find that an application on your PC does try to open the XLTX file but it's the wrong application or if you would rather have another installed program open XLTX files, you can change the default program.

How to Convert an XLTX File
The quickest way to convert an XLTX file to XLSX or XLS is to use one of the XLTX viewers/editors from above, like Microsoft Excel, which supports converting to both formats. The other applications listed above may only support one or the other. Another easy way to convert an XLTX file is to use FileZigZag.

It's an online file converter that can save an XLTX file to XLS, CSV, ODS, OTS, PDF, TXT, and several other formats. If you convert the XLTX file to a more popular spreadsheet format like XLSX or CSV, you can then open the file in something other than Microsoft Excel. Some alternative free spreadsheet programs include WPS Office, Gnumeric, and Spread32.

Still Can' t Open Your File
If your file won't open or convert using the suggestions from above, then there's a high probability that your file doesn't end with the XLTX file extension. If that's the case, then you need to research that file extension to see which programs support it.

For example, XTL files appear to be related in some way to XLTX files because their file extension closely resembles that of the spreadsheet file format. However, XTL files are actually Vietcong Data files that are used by the Vietcong video game.
