The PXL file is a file type or format created by Pocket Excel, a spreadsheet program used on Pocket PC mobile devices.

Pocket Excel is the spreadsheet manager that was included in the Pocket Office suite, enabled to be handled on Pocket PC devices, which is a pocket computer, also called PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

It is a small handheld computer, similar to a modern cell phone, usually without a physical keyboard, designed to take up minimal space and be easily transportable.

The Pocket PC runs Microsoft's Windows CE or Windows Mobile operating system among others, which provides similar capabilities to desktop PCs, and within those capabilities, there was Pocket Office.

The PXL file is a spreadsheet, with reduced functionality compared to a regular spreadsheet (XLSX or XLS) and contains data stored as a grid of rows and columns.

This PXL file can be converted to an Excel XLS file.

PXL files can also be exported to XLS files in Pocket Excel using the "Word 97/2000" type in the Save As... menu.

Older versions of Microsoft ActiveSync can also convert PXL files to XLS files.
