Found with Google search:

XLSM files are actually identical to Microsoft Excel Open XML Format 
Spreadsheet (XLSX 
<https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-an-xlsx-file-2622540>) files with the 
only difference being that XLSM files will execute embedded macros 
<https://www.lifewire.com/description-of-excel-macro-3123921> that are 
programmed in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) language.
