About QPW
Borland made Quattro Pro for DOS in 1989, saving .wq1 and .wq2, and Quattro Pro for Windows in 1992, whose notebooks of many sheets were .wb1, then .wb2 and .wb3. Novell and then Corel took it over, and Corel still sells it in WordPerfect Office, where it saves .qpw.
A notebook holds pages of cells with their values, labels and formulas, number formats, fonts and column widths. Quattro Pro only runs on Windows, and Microsoft Office stopped opening Quattro Pro for DOS files with Office 2013, so a notebook sent to anyone without WordPerfect Office often goes unread.
Filepeek reads the notebook with libwps, the open source reader LibreOffice uses, compiled to WebAssembly, and draws every sheet in a grid of its own with its tabs along the bottom. Show formulas reveals what's behind each value, Show as a table sorts, filters and searches a sheet, and Export saves sheets as CSV.

Questions
How do I open a Quattro Pro file without WordPerfect Office?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a QPW. Every sheet opens with its tabs along the bottom.
Can I get it into Excel?
Choose Export, then save a sheet or all of them as CSV, which Excel opens. LibreOffice Calc opens Quattro Pro files and saves them as XLSX.
Are the formulas kept?
Yes. Values show as Quattro Pro saved them, and Show formulas reveals the formula behind each one. Nothing is worked out again.
