The sample is a macro-enabled Excel file with a Workbook_Open macro that executes a PowerShell command. This command downloads a JPG file from 'http://192.236.178.80/i8/maggis.jpg' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\qfuyeded.exe', then executes the saved file. This indicates a downloader pattern aiming to fetch and run a second-stage payload.
