About ODS and TXT

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

TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.

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