Convert MP to ODS

MP stands for Multiplan, associated with Microsoft Multiplan, an early spreadsheet program. Introduced in 1982, Microsoft Multiplan was designed for CP/M, MS-DOS, and other operating systems. The MP file extension was primarily used to store spreadsheet data. Despite its initial popularity, Multiplan was eventually overshadowed by Microsoft Excel. Today, MP files are rare, but they hold historical significance in the evolution of spreadsheet software.

An OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) file is utilized for storing spreadsheet data and is compatible with various office software suites such as Apache OpenOffice Calc. Originating from the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF) standard, the ODS extension ensures interoperability across different software platforms by using XML-based open format. First ratified in 2005, ODF was developed to provide an open, vendor-neutral format for office applications, promoting accessibility and long-term archival. In a professional IT context, ODS files are valued for their flexibility, standardization, and ability to be integrated seamlessly into diverse computational environments.
