Please add support for LibreOffice Calc files (.ods) files. Excel is such a terrible piece of software from a usability perspective. I would prefer to use LibreOffice, but right now I would need to export my files to Excel formats with all sorts of compatibility issues as a result.

You are opening a ZIP file. Basically the ODS format is XML files compressed in a ZIP file. First you need to unzip the ODS to be able to manipulate the XML files inside. ODS is an open standard and the specifications can be found here: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.2 - Part 1: OpenDocument Schema

Hi @wim
I’m not quite sure what you meant to say with that. 
Hoi Intuos -
As far as I know, we don’t have any components that read Excel files?

Oh yes I see what you mean. I use a plugin for that.
But it would be nice if this open document standard could be supported, since Grasshopper has no real way to make spreadsheets (tables) internally either.

Thanks @Wim!
I see you linked it to an Excel wishlist item too. Fingers crossed it will one day be available.
