Convert WPS SPREADSHEET to ODS

The WPS file extension, associated with Microsoft Works for Mac, was primarily used for spreadsheet documents. Initially launched in 1988, it was Microsoft's default format for Microsoft Works Spreadsheets. The format was discontinued in 2006, with the evolution toward modern file types like XLS and XLSX. Nowadays, WPS files are considered legacy formats but can still be accessed and converted using compatible software tools.

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.
