ODS to Excel Converter with Editor

Convert OpenDocument spreadsheets (.ods) to Microsoft Excel format with full editing capabilities. Edit your data before converting, and save back to ODS format if needed.

Why this tool

ODF (OpenDocument Format) is the open standard used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice. While it's great for open-source workflows, many organizations still prefer Microsoft Excel formats. This tool bridges that gap — and goes further by letting you edit your data before converting.

How it works

1. Upload — Drag and drop your .ods file
2. Edit — Click any cell to edit data directly in the table
3. Add/Delete — Add new rows or delete unwanted ones
4. Convert — Choose your output format and download
5. Save — Save back to .ods format if you need to keep editing later

What you can do

• Edit cells — Click any cell and type to update data
• Add rows — Insert new rows at the bottom of the sheet
• Delete rows — Remove unwanted rows with the trash button
• Undo changes — Revert to previous states (up to 50 steps)
• Convert to Excel — .xlsx, .xls, or .csv formats
• Save as ODS — Export back to OpenDocument format
• Multiple sheets — Switch between sheets and edit each one

How to use the tool

1. Upload — Click the upload area or drag and drop your .ods file
2. Edit data — Click any cell in the table to edit its content
3. Manage rows — Use the "Add Row" button or delete rows with the trash icon
4. Select sheet — Switch between sheets using the dropdown
5. Choose format — Select .xlsx, .xls, .csv, or .ods output
6. Export — Click "Convert to Excel" or "Save as ODS"
