Microsoft Excel Open XML Document
XLSX is a file extension for an open XML spreadsheet file format used by Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft introduced the open XML standard to Microsoft Office in 2007 after a push from business users who saw the value in an open file format for transferring data between applications and other areas of working with the files. Support can also be added to earlier versions of Excel with Open XML component support.
