Where this file comes from

Research datasets and spreadsheet exports use tabs to separate columns in TSV files.

What changes in the conversion

ODS is an OpenDocument spreadsheet for LibreOffice Calc. Values and sheet names are exported without copying Excel-specific workbook features.

The table becomes one worksheet. Every cell is stored as text, preserving leading zeros, date text, and formula-like strings. Delimiters and quoting are replaced with spreadsheet cells. No formulas, styles, or number formats are inferred.

Size limits and browser notes

Runs in a browser worker. Limits: 10 MB input, 100 MB expanded container, 50 worksheets, 50,000 rows, 256 columns, and 100,000 selected cells. Encrypted and damaged files are rejected. Spreadsheet styling and recalculation are not supported.
