Format Details
ODS
ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is the open standard spreadsheet format developed by OASIS, used natively by LibreOffice Calc and Apache OpenOffice Calc. It stores spreadsheet data, formulas, charts, and formatting in XML compressed within a ZIP archive, ensuring transparency and long-term accessibility. ODS is a fully open, non-proprietary alternative to Microsoft Excel's XLS and XLSX formats and is supported by Google Sheets.
CSV
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular data format that uses commas to delimit column values and line breaks to separate rows. It is one of the most universally supported data interchange formats, readable by any spreadsheet application, database, or programming language. CSV is ideal for exporting and importing data between different systems due to its simplicity, human readability, and near-universal compatibility.
