Convert XLM to ODS
Convert XLM spreadsheet documents to ODS format, edit and optimize documents online and free.
The XLM file extension stands for "Excel Macro", a format used in early versions of Microsoft Excel to store macro instructions. Introduced with Excel 4.0 in the early 1990s, XLM files enabled automation of repetitive tasks by recording sequences of actions performed within the spreadsheet. They were pivotal in the evolution of Excel's macro capabilities, which later transitioned to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). While XLM is largely obsolete now, understanding its role is crucial for grasping the history of Excel's automation features.
An OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) file is utilized for storing spreadsheet data and is compatible with various office software suites such as Apache OpenOffice Calc. Originating from the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF) standard, the ODS extension ensures interoperability across different software platforms by using XML-based open format. First ratified in 2005, ODF was developed to provide an open, vendor-neutral format for office applications, promoting accessibility and long-term archival. In a professional IT context, ODS files are valued for their flexibility, standardization, and ability to be integrated seamlessly into diverse computational environments.
