Description | 🔵 The WKS file format is an outdated file format for spreadsheets that was used by Lotus 1-2-3 software. It was first introduced in 1982 and was widely used during the 1980s and early 1990s before being replaced by more advanced Lotus 1-2-3 file formats such as .123. |
Technical details | 🔵 WKS files are binary files that contain spreadsheet data, including text, numbers, formulas, and formatting. They have a file header that contains information about the file's format and settings, followed by a series of records that describe the contents of each cell in the spreadsheet. The file format uses a proprietary binary format and is not widely supported by modern spreadsheet applications. Each record in a WKS file contains information about a single cell in the spreadsheet, including its row and column location, data type, and value. The data types supported by the WKS file format include text, numbers, dates, and formulas. The format also supports basic formatting options such as font size, bold and italic styles, and cell borders. |

Description | 🔵 The `.ods` (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) format, compatible with LibreOffice Calc, OpenOffice Calc, and other office suites that adhere to the OpenDocument standard, is a file type based on XML. It serves as an open-source alternative to restricted formats like Microsoft's .xls and .xlsx. ODS files can hold sophisticated spreadsheets with cells, rows, columns, formulas, charts, and graphics. They are mainly used in environments that use open-source software. |
Technical details | 🔵 In the realm of OpenDocument Format (ODF) for office documents, the `.ods` format plays a crucial role. It includes key components like standardization – the OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) and ISO/IEC (ISO/IEC 26300) standardize the ods format, offering a public specification and an open development process. XML-based – the format comprises compressed XML files, effectively forming a ZIP archive, which promotes reliable data transfer and interoperability. Spreadsheet components – it supports spreadsheet cells, rows, columns, formulas, charts, and sophisticated formatting options, including conditional formatting and cell styles. Macro capabilities – it supports the addition of macros in various scripting languages, although this carries potential security hazards. |
