Hi,
I've two Excel files with same data. One is in Excel 2003 (.xls) format and other one is in Excel 2007 (.xlsx) format. I've generated one way hash using SHA-1 algorithm. But the hash value of Excel 2003 files is not same as the hash value of Excel 2007 file.
What might be the problem.
Thank You,
Umesh Kilkile

xls is a binary format while xlsx is an xml based format so even if they contain the same data, their hash are not the same.

Middle path.

To be even more precise, xlsx is a ZIP file with several XML files (and one binary file, xl\printerSettings\printerSettings1.bin) in it.
