What to expect
- SXC and ODS share the same ZIP+XML structure and formula syntax, so cell data, styles, and standard formulas convert without loss.

.sxcfiles may not transfer intact - review any macro code after converting. - The resulting
.odsfile is compatible with LibreOffice, Google Sheets (via Drive upload), and Microsoft Excel 2007 SP2 and later.
Frequently asked questions
Can I open an SXC file without installing software?
Use the free converter on this page or a service such as CloudConvert. LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice are the only actively maintained desktop programs that open
.sxc directly.Will my formulas carry over from SXC to ODS?
Standard formulas do. SXC and ODS share the same OpenOffice.org formula syntax, and LibreOffice translates them automatically. Legacy StarOffice functions should be checked after conversion.
Is ODS better than SXC for long-term use?
Yes. ODS is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 26300) supported by multiple independent applications, while SXC is a legacy format with limited tooling and no future updates.
What if LibreOffice cannot open my SXC file?
Try Apache OpenOffice as an alternative. If the file is partially corrupted, a ZIP repair tool such as 7-Zip may help restore it, since SXC is a ZIP-based archive internally.
