Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
Microsoft Pivot was an experimental Microsoft application for exploring large data sets with smooth visual interactions. A .cmxl file stores XML-based collection data used by Pivot.
The collection data can represent information prepared from database output for exploration in Pivot. The format is obsolete, and Microsoft Pivot is no longer actively supported. Pivot was designed for Microsoft Windows.
Open a .cmxl file with Microsoft Pivot on Windows, if the application is still available on the computer. Because the format is obsolete, current software may not open it correctly.
If the file contains data that is also available in a database or another source, export the source data to a current format and recreate the collection in a compatible visualization tool.
