Why convert ODS to Excel (XLSX)

Excel opens ODS but warns about possible loss and sometimes drops formatting. Converting first yields a native XLSX that opens silently and looks right.

Common formulas are translated; Calc-only functions are exported as their cached values so nothing shows as an error.

How it works

  1. Drop ODS file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Check the file list; remove anything you added by mistake.
  3. Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
  4. Download the Excel (XLSX) — individually or all at once.

About the formats

ODS · OpenDocument spreadsheet · .ods

The LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet format, an open ISO standard that Excel and Google Sheets can also open.

  • ODS supports formulas, multiple sheets and charts like XLSX.
  • Some Excel-specific functions and pivot features do not round-trip through ODS.
  • ODS files are ZIP archives of XML, like ODT.

Excel (XLSX) · Microsoft Excel workbook · .xlsx

The current Excel format: multiple sheets, formulas, formatting, charts and pivot tables in one file.

  • XLSX stores both the formula and its last computed value, so a converted CSV contains the values.
  • Maximum 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns per sheet.
  • XLSM is the same format with macros enabled.
