What is Lotus 1-2-3 workbook?
A later Lotus 1-2-3 workbook format using binary spreadsheet records. It supports moving legacy workbook data into modern table formats.
Exports stored values in up to 8,192 rows, 256 columns and 256 sheets. Formatting, formulas and macros are not retained. Some legacy readers require a character-set choice for multilingual text.
Technical details
LibreOffice Calc lists the WPS Lotus Calc filter for both .wk1 and .wk3 worksheets. [1]
Background and compatibility
LibreOffice documents a character-set option for .wk3 import, so text decoding can depend on that setting. [2]
