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.
