Sample ODS Files — Download OpenDocument Spreadsheet Test Files
OpenDocument Spreadsheet (LibreOffice Calc) · .ods · MIME type application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet
Download a sample ODS file — the OpenDocument spreadsheet format of LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice, mandated by a number of governments and common in academia. Like ODT, it is a ZIP of XML with a schema unrelated to Excel's, so it needs its own parser or a LibreOffice-based conversion step.
Samples contain 100 and 1,000 rows of the shared fictional orders dataset with typed numeric cells, so importers can be checked for correct type handling as well as basic acceptance.

Frequently asked questions
Can Excel open ODS files?
Yes, Excel 2007 SP2 and later open and save ODS, though some formulas and formatting can change in translation. Google Sheets imports it as well.
Are these ODS files safe to download?
Yes. Every file is generated by our own open script from scratch — nothing is scraped or user-uploaded — and contains no scripts, macros or executables. The SHA-256 of each file is published on this page so you can verify what you received.
Can I use the sample ODS files commercially?
Yes. They are free for any purpose, including commercial products, test suites, demos and redistribution, with no attribution required. There is nothing to license and no one to ask.
Can I hotlink these files or use them in CI?
Yes. Every link is a stable direct URL over HTTPS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and long cache headers, so curl, wget, fetch() and test runners can pull them directly. A JSON index of every file is linked from each page (see the command-line section).

Uploads, conversions, previews, document processing and media workflows are the kind of production systems Pine & Birch designs and runs for clients — which is why we needed these files in the first place.
