DIF (Data Interchange Format) is a text-based file format used for exporting and importing spreadsheets.

DIF files store data using the ASCII character encoding scheme. This mitigates cross-platform issues but at the same time creates certain limitations making the DIF format a more basic one when compared to other spreadsheet formats.

DIF files can only handle a single spreadsheet per workbook. DIF spreadsheets are divided into two sections, data and header. Header parts start a text identifier written in capital letters and data parts start with a number pair indicating the row and column. Cell content is written between quotes.
