After all, an Android phone is just a small touchscreen computer—it can handle basic document editing (even if it is a little fiddly). If you need to view or make changes to Excel files in the XLSX format, you can quickly do it on Android. Here’s what you’ll need to do.
How to Open XLSX Files in Android

Alternatively, you could use Microsoft Excel for Android. To open XLSX files in Android, follow these steps:
Using Google Sheets and Excel on Android
Using spreadsheets on your Android phone isn’t the best experience. You can pinch and zoom for individual sections and cells but working from a phone isn’t ideal. However, it does work in a pinch.

While Google Docs aren’t as feature-rich as Microsoft Office apps, the Google apps do pretty well. Also, you can use some helpful tips, like inserting an image into a cell on Google Sheets or using Google Sheets to track stocks.
