what is xlxs?
 

I saved files onto a memory stick from excel. Now that I need them they are
showing up with xlxs as the extension and I can't get them to open. What is
this?

Do you really mean xlxs?
If it were xlsx, it would be Excel 2007.

Did you mean .xlsx?

If you did, then this is a new fileformat in xl2007. It means that there are no
macros saved in the workbook (.xlsm means that there's a macro).

If you're using xl2002 or xl2003, you could use the compatibility pack:

If you're not using xl2002, you could go back to the original pc and save the
workbook in the older fileformat (.xls).
