About ODS Files
ODS is the default spreadsheet format of LibreOffice Calc and Apache OpenOffice. It follows the OpenDocument standard, so it isn't controlled by a single company, and some governments use it for public data. ODS files can contain several sheets, formulas, charts and formatting. Excel and Google Sheets open and save ODS, though advanced features may be converted differently.
