About ODS and RTF

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

RTF (Rich Text Format) is a portable text format readable by virtually every word processor, supporting basic formatting like bold, fonts, and colors, but not macros or advanced layout.

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