Open ODS File

Convert ODS to XLSX

ODS ("OpenDocument Spreadsheet") files are a file format of the "Calc" program, the spreadsheet of the free LibreOffice alternative.

If a file is in ODS format, the appropriate programs can make edits to the spreadsheet.

On the other hand, XLSX files are a file format of the Microsoft Excel program. It can usually only be edited or viewed using Microsoft Excel itself or the Excel Viewer program or online viewing services.

The file format guarantees post editing, but not full portability.

There are many reasons for converting one file format to another: a main reason is the lack of compatibility between versions of Microsoft Excel 2007 for editing the newer XLSX files.

In general, the new XLSX format can offer some advantages when editing, as Excel can integrate more special functions when saving with the company's own.

Users who want to convert to XLSX format encounter some hurdles when converting.
