How to convert XLSB to ODS

  1. Add your .XLSB file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
  2. Convert it to .ODS in a few seconds.
  3. Download your new .ODS file.

What to expect

  • VBA macros embedded in .xlsb are silently dropped - keep a copy in the original format if macros matter.
  • Pivot tables, advanced chart types, and Excel-specific conditional formatting may not map cleanly to ODS equivalents - review these after converting.
  • ODS files are typically larger than XLSB; for wider compatibility with online services and third-party apps, consider .xlsx instead.

Frequently asked questions

Can LibreOffice open XLSB files directly?
Yes - LibreOffice Calc has supported .xlsb for several years; just open the file normally from the file manager or via File > Open.
Will my formulas still work in ODS?
Standard formulas (SUM, IF, VLOOKUP, etc.) carry over correctly. Excel-specific functions with no ODS equivalent may become static values - test complex sheets after converting.
Are macros lost when converting to ODS?
Yes. VBA macros stored in .xlsb are not transferred to .ods because the two formats use different macro systems.
Should I use ODS or XLSX for sharing?
ODS suits recipients using LibreOffice or OpenOffice. For maximum compatibility with online services and most third-party apps, .xlsx is usually the safer choice.
