ODS

ODS is the spreadsheet format of the OpenDocument standard (ISO/IEC 26300). Like ODT, it is a ZIP archive of XML files and was designed by OASIS to provide a vendor-neutral alternative to proprietary spreadsheet formats. ODS supports formulas, multiple sheets, charts, and conditional formatting. It is the default format in LibreOffice Calc and is accepted by most government procurement policies that require open formats.
