⚠️There's a newer version (2.2.0) of this package. Take me there.

readODS

The only goal of readODS is to enable R to read and write OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) files.

Installation

Install the latest stable version from CRAN:

install.packages("readODS")

Or install the development version from Github:

devtools::install_github("chainsawriot/readODS")

Usage

In almost all use cases, you only need two functions: read_ods and write_ods. Simple.

Reading

library(readODS)
read_ods("starwars.ods")
#>                  Name homeworld species
#> 1      Luke Skywalker  Tatooine   Human
