Convert XLSX to ODS

The following example shows you how to convert an Excel workbook (.xlsx) to an ODF spreadsheet (.ods). OfficeConverter converts between the document object models, so no other application and no installed Office is involved. The result is an ordinary document object you can edit further before you save it.

C# example

using System;
using Independentsoft.Office.Converters;
using Word = Independentsoft.Office.Word;
using Xlsx = Independentsoft.Office.Spreadsheet;
using Odf = Independentsoft.Office.Odf;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Xlsx.Workbook source = new Xlsx.Workbook("c:\\test\\input.xlsx");

            Odf.Spreadsheet target = OfficeConverter.ConvertWorkbookToSpreadsheet(source);

            target.Save("c:\\test\\output.ods", true);

            Console.WriteLine("Document converted successfully!");
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports Independentsoft.Office.Converters
Imports Word = Independentsoft.Office.Word
Imports Xlsx = Independentsoft.Office.Spreadsheet
Imports Odf = Independentsoft.Office.Odf

Module Module1
    Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)

        Dim source As Xlsx.Workbook = New Xlsx.Workbook("c:\test\input.xlsx")

        Dim target As Odf.Spreadsheet = OfficeConverter.ConvertWorkbookToSpreadsheet(source)

        target.Save("c:\test\output.ods", True)

        Console.WriteLine("Document converted successfully!")

    End Sub
End Module
