- 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.
- An XLSX file is an Excel spreadsheet created by Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program, such as OpenOffice Calc or Apple Numbers. It stores data in worksheets, which contain cells arranged in a grid of rows and columns, and may also contain charts, mathematical functions, styles, and formatting. XLSX files are commonly used to store financial data and to create simple or complex mathematical models.
