Please download the sample In-Table List document we created in this article:

• In-Table List.xlsx (Template for CustomObject and JSON examples)
• In-Table List_DB.xlsx (Template for DataBase examples)
• In-Table List_DS.xlsx (Template for DataSet examples)
• In-Table List_XML.xlsx (Template for XML examples)

OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) is a spreadsheet document format which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft Excel Document (XLS/XLSX) formats. Since ODS is not a Microsoft Proprietary format, there are multiple software (including Microsoft Office and Apache OpenOffice) available to create, open, edit and save this format. For more information on the available software to work with ODS, please visit wikipedia article.

In this topic, we ’ll not reinvent the wheel to recreate a template for generating an ‘In-Table List’ report in ODS format. Instead, we’ll save the existing template to ODS format using Microsoft Office. In order to achieve this; assuming you are using Microsoft Office 2010, please follow below steps:

1. Open existing template we created in previous topic.
2. Click “File” and select “Save As”.
3. Select “OpenDocument Spreadsheet” from “Save As Type” drop down.
4. Click “Save”.

• In-Table List_OpenDocument.ods (use same template for JSON examples)
• In-Table List_DB_OpenDocument.ods
• In-Table List_DS_OpenDocument.ods
• In-Table List_XML_OpenDocument.ods

In order to check compatibility of ODS between Microsoft Office 2010 and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2, we performed below tests:

• We opened the ODS template created through Microsoft Office 2010 in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The template opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
• We opened the ODS report generated through GroupDocs.Assembly in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The report opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
