- Description
- The FODS (OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet) file format is a type of document file designed for storing spreadsheet data in a single, uncompressed XML file. It is part of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) family, an open standard for document files. Unlike the more common ODS format, which packages various components of the spreadsheet (such as XML files, metadata, and images) into a single, compressed ZIP file, FODS files store all the spreadsheet information in a flat XML file.
- xlam (Excel Open XML Macro-Enabled Add-In) is a file type used in Microsoft Excel which contains code written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). It is used to store and deploy macros, custom user forms, and other Excel add-in components. xlam files can be opened and edited in Excel, but they are not as secure as other Excel file types.
