MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing a Workbook_Open macro, indicating it is designed to execute code upon opening. The macro likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URL. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and an embedded URL strongly suggests a malicious intent to deliver further malware.
