MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The file contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes obfuscated commands. These commands attempt to create a batch file (c:\programdata\jledshf.bat) and a VBScript (c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs). The VBScript is designed to download and execute payloads from multiple URLs, including http://reumatismclinic.com/-/-/scCn3mbJRpsBvbrC/. The ClamAV detection (Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0) further confirms the malicious nature of this document.
