XLSX is a file extension associated with .xlsx files containing spreadsheet data. It is used by modern versions of Microsoft Office Excel, which stores spreadsheet information in an encrypted Open XML format, making it compatible with most operating systems. XLSX files save data in cells that can be arranged with both text and graphical elements such as charts and images. The structure of this kind of file allows for quick calculations and analysis of data, as well as powerful graphing tools.
Usage of XSLX
XLSX is one of the most popular file formats for storing and exchanging spreadsheets and worksheets. Its relative size and ease of use make it useful for sharing spreadsheets with non-technical users, including those over email or slow internet connections. As part of Office Open XML specification, XLSX workbooks can also be opened by several other applications, including LibreOffice Calc, Open Office Calc, Numbers, and Google Sheets. Other similar file extensions are: XLS, XLSB, XLTX, XLTM.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XLSX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .XLSX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .XLSX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .XLSX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .XLSX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XLSX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XLSX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .XLSX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XLSX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .XLSX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
