About ODS to Excel

ODS to Excel helps when you work in LibreOffice or OpenOffice Calc and the people you send files to live in Excel, or when a client portal only accepts .xlsx. Upload the .ods file and every sheet comes back in an Excel workbook, keeping its name and its place in the tab order. Portals that want CSV instead are covered by Excel to CSV, which reads .ods files as well.

Numbers, percentages and currency amounts arrive as numbers, true/false cells stay booleans, and formulas are replaced by the results Calc worked out. Columns are sized to their contents. Styling such as colours, borders and merged cells isn't carried over, and dates come across as the text Calc showed, so give formatted reports a quick look in Excel before you send them.

How to use ODS to Excel

    Each sheet is read and written into a new .xlsx workbook in an isolated process.

  3. 3

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Every sheet included

    Multi-sheet Calc files keep all their sheets and sheet names in the Excel version.

  • Real numbers, not text

    Amounts, percentages and currency values are numeric cells you can sum and chart right away.

  • Formula results kept

    Whatever Calc calculated is written into the cells, so totals match what you saw in LibreOffice.

  • No office suite needed

    Convert on a phone, a Chromebook or any computer, without LibreOffice or Excel installed.

FAQ

ODS to Excel: questions and answers

Will ODS to Excel keep my formatting?
It keeps the data rather than the look. Values, numbers and formula results come across, while colours, borders and merged cells don't. For a styled report, save it as .xlsx from LibreOffice itself. To show the styled report as it looks, Excel to Image can snapshot the .ods file directly.
Do formulas still work after converting?
The cells hold the values Calc calculated, not the formulas. Totals look right, but they won't update if you change the numbers in Excel.
How do I convert ODS to Excel on a Mac?
Open this page in Safari, drop the .ods file on it, click ODS to Excel and download the .xlsx. It opens in Excel and in Apple's Numbers.
Is there a size limit when converting ODS to Excel?
Free accounts can convert spreadsheets up to 50 MB, 2 per day, and visitors can try 2 conversions in total. VIP accepts files up to 1 GB with unlimited tasks.
