readODS

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).

Installation

Install the latest stable version from CRAN:

install.packages("readODS")

from R-universe:

install.packages("readODS", repos = "https://ropensci.r-universe.dev")

Or install the development version from Github:

remotes::install_github("ropensci/readODS")

Usage

In almost all use cases, you only need two functions: read_ods and write_ods. Simple.

Reading

library(readODS)
read_ods("starwars.ods")

Reading from the 2nd sheet

read_ods("starwars.ods", sheet = 2)

Reading from a specific range

read_ods("starwars.ods", sheet = 2, range = "A1:C11")

Reading as a dataframe

read_ods("starwars.ods", range="Sheet1!A2:C11", as_tibble = FALSE)

Writing

## preserve the row names
write_ods(mtcars, "mtcars.ods", row_names = TRUE)

Appending a sheet

write_ods(PlantGrowth, "mtcars.ods", append = TRUE, sheet = "plant")

## Default: First sheet
read_ods("mtcars.ods")

read_ods("mtcars.ods", sheet = "plant", range = "A1:B10")

Maximum Sheet Size

Reading The maximum size of sheet you can read is determined by your machine's RAM.

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.
