XLSX

The XLSX file extension is associated with files saved with Microsoft Excel (2007/2010), one of the most popular and powerful tools you can use to create and format spreadsheets, graphs and much more. The .xlsx files are used in Microsoft Excel (2007/2010) for Workbooks, spreadsheet, and document files.
