CSV is a file format that stores various types of data saved in character-separated text sets, typically with a comma character, hence the format’s name - Comma Separated Value. CSV standard is defined in RFC 4180.
OTS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template) is a template file format used by Calc software application. Now it is chiefly used by Apache OpenOffice, but many spreadsheet programs support this format. The format definitions is based on XML as specified by OASIS Open Document.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CSV file after converting to OTS may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CSV to OTS to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CSV to OTS does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CSV format, properly converted to a OTS file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file CSV the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of CSV file to other than OTS. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CSV file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to OTS on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CSV file in its original format (without conversion to OTS file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
