The only goal of readODS is to enable R to read and write OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) files. This package supports both ordinary ODS and “Flat ODS” (fods).
Install the latest stable version from CRAN:
from R-universe:
Or install the development version from Github:
In almost all use cases, you only need two functions: read_ods and write_ods. Simple.

Writing You can theoretically write sheets up to 16 384 columns by 1 048 576 rows (the current maximum sheet size in Excel and LibreOffice Calc). While larger ODS files than this are valid, they are not well supported. However older version of LibreOffice (<=7.3) and Excel (<=2003) have significantly smaller maximum sheet sizes, and so this should be considered when writing files for distribution.
