About ODS and CSV

ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is the open ISO-standard spreadsheet format used by LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice Calc.

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is plain tabular data with no formulas, formatting, or multiple sheets — just rows and columns separated by commas.

What to expect: CSV doesn't support everything ODS does, so expect formatting like fonts, styles, or embedded objects to be dropped in the conversion.
