- 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.
- Workspace file saved by Microsoft Excel, a program used to create spreadsheets; contains the screen locations of one or more workbooks, as well as references to the workbook files; used to restore the layout when working simultaneously on multiple workbooks.
