ODS files are common from open source office suites and public sector portals, but most import tools only accept CSV. XlsConverter extracts any sheet from an ODS file into clean CSV with the delimiter and encoding your target needs.

To keep formulas and formatting instead, use ODS to XLSX. For Excel sources, the matching page is XLSX to CSV.

How to convert ODS to CSV in three steps

1Upload the .ods file.
2Choose the sheet, delimiter, encoding and header handling.
3Convert and download the .csv file.

Repeated empty rows and columns in ODS files

ODS files often declare formatted but empty areas that extend to the end of the sheet, for example a style applied to whole columns. Some converters turn that into millions of empty CSV lines or hundreds of trailing commas. XlsConverter trims to the real data range, so the CSV ends where your data ends.

Formulas are evaluated to their last saved value. If the file was saved by a tool that did not store calculated values, the converter recalculates common functions so you do not get empty cells where totals should be.

Hidden sheets and hidden rows are included only if you ask for them, matching what you see in the spreadsheet. If the CSV feeds a database, you can skip a step with CSV to SQL after export, and CSV to JSON serves API imports.
