Importing OpenDocument spreadsheets

Open an .ods file with File → Open, drag it onto GridCraft, or pass it to the CLI. GridCraft imports worksheet data into a new workbook and shows a warning describing the conversion limits.

The import reads sheets, numbers, text, booleans, supported dates/times, repeated cells/rows and merged cells. Formula cells become their last saved results, not live formulas. These results may be out of date if the source application did not recalculate before saving. Unsupported or missing values retain available display text and produce a warning.

This is data import, not full ODS compatibility. Source formatting, formulas, charts, images, names and other workbook features are not preserved. GridCraft does not write ODS files.

Save opens Save As and suggests a new .xlsx file. The source ODS file is not used as the workbook's save destination; requests to save to .ods return an error.

gridcraft-cli convert source.ods imported.xlsx

CLI import warnings go to stderr, leaving structured output on stdout available for scripts.
