The XLS file contains VBA macros that utilize the URLDownloadToFileA API to download a payload from the domain 'dhlpro.com'. The script then attempts to execute the downloaded file, indicating a downloader or droppper functionality. The obfuscated nature of the script and the use of a URL for payload delivery suggest a typical malicious macro attack.
