Files with the .ODS extension contain compressed spreadsheet files, stored in an open format based on XML . The ODS standard, which is an element of the ODF specification for office suite documents, was created on the basis of the OpenOffice.
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 XLSHTML file after converting to ODS may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from XLSHTML to ODS 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 XLSHTML to ODS does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in XLSHTML format, properly converted to a ODS file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file XLSHTML the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of XLSHTML file to other than ODS. 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 XLSHTML file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to ODS 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 XLSHTML file in its original format (without conversion to ODS file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
