From the 70's to 2007 the open source .txt filename extension format commonly referred to plain text documents encoded using the ASCII character set. To support internationalization and localization, .txt text documents are today text files encoded using the UTF-8 or UTF-16LE standard which is a superset of the ASCII character set. Text documents of type .txt typically have minimal formatting for example no support for bold or italic characters or support for bullet points etc. This allows .txt documents to use minimum storage space and be platform independent as long as the operating system supports the underlying encoding character set used to create the .txt document. On windows .txt file support has existed since 1985 when Windows 1.0 was released and since then has been mostly associated with the notepad application on Microsoft Windows.
The .xlsx is an open source filename extension format developed by Microsoft in collaboration with ISO/IEC and ECMA. It is part of the Open Document family of file formats. The .xlsx is associated with spreadsheet authoring applications particularly with Microsoft's Office Excel 2007 and above. The format has existed since 2005 and is also supported by several other proprietary and open source spreadsheet authoring software other than Microsoft's Office Excel. The xlsx format is the default filename extension for all spreadsheet documents produced using Microsoft Office Excel 2007 SP2 and above.

The xlsx filename extension is a compressed archive with an xml directory structure. It is specified in the open standard ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012. .xlsx files do not support macros by design, for that, the .xlsm format should be used.
