Read and Write ODS Files.
readODS 
The only goal of readODS is to enable R to read and write OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) files. This package supports both ordinary ODS and “Flat ODS” (fods).
Installation
Install the latest stable version from CRAN:
install.packages("readODS")
from R-universe:
install.packages("readODS", repos = "https://ropensci.r-universe.dev")
Or install the development version from Github:
remotes::install_github("ropensci/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")
#> # A tibble: 10 × 3
#> Name homeworld species
#> <chr> <chr> <chr>
#> 1 Luke Skywalker Tatooine Human
#> 2 C-3PO Tatooine Human
#> 3 R2-D2 Alderaan Human
#> 4 Darth Vader Tatooine Human
#> 5 Leia Organa Tatooine Human
#> 6 Owen Lars Tatooine Human
#> 7 Beru Whitesun lars Stewjon Human
#> 8 R5-D4 Tatooine Human
#> 9 Biggs Darklighter Kashyyyk Wookiee
#> 10 Obi-Wan Kenobi Corellia Human
Reading from the 2nd sheet
read_ods("starwars.ods", sheet = 2)
#> # A tibble: 10 × 8
#> Name height mass hair_color skin_color eye_color birth_year gender
#> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <chr>

Reading from a specific range
read_ods("starwars.ods", sheet = 2, range = "A1:C11")
#> # A tibble: 10 × 3
#> Name height mass
#> <chr> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 Luke Skywalker 172 77
#> 2 C-3PO 202 136
#> 3 R2-D2 150 49
#> 4 Darth Vader 178 120
#> 5 Leia Organa 165 75
#> 6 Owen Lars 183 84
#> 7 Beru Whitesun lars 182 77
#> 8 R5-D4 188 84
#> 9 Biggs Darklighter 228 112
#> 10 Obi-Wan Kenobi 180 80
Reading as a dataframe
read_ods("starwars.ods", range="Sheet1!A2:C11", as_tibble = FALSE)
#> Luke.Skywalker Tatooine Human
#> 1 C-3PO Tatooine Human
#> 2 R2-D2 Alderaan Human
#> 3 Darth Vader Tatooine Human
#> 4 Leia Organa Tatooine Human
#> 5 Owen Lars Tatooine Human
#> 6 Beru Whitesun lars Stewjon Human
#> 7 R5-D4 Tatooine Human
#> 8 Biggs Darklighter Kashyyyk Wookiee
#> 9 Obi-Wan Kenobi Corellia Human
Writing
## preserve the row names
write_ods(mtcars, "mtcars.ods", row_names = TRUE)
Appending a sheet
write_ods(PlantGrowth, "mtcars.ods", append = TRUE, sheet = "plant")
## Default: First sheet
read_ods("mtcars.ods")

Maximum Sheet Size
Reading The maximum size of sheet you can read is determined by your machine’s RAM.
Writing You can theoretically write sheets up to 16 384 columns by 1 048 576 rows (the current maximum sheet size in Excel and LibreOffice Calc). While larger ODS files than this are valid, they are not well supported. However older version of LibreOffice (<=7.3) and Excel (<=2003) have significantly smaller maximum sheet sizes, and so this should be considered when writing files for distribution.
