LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats - Reddthat

>The Foundation sees this as a contradiction to the EU’s own interoperability goals. Although XLSX is standardized as OOXML according to ISO/IEC 29500, Microsoft’s implementations often deviate from the specifications. Furthermore, features often change undocumented, which complicates compatibility with open-source software such as LibreOffice.

CSV does not allow storing formulas, just results. It is a good format to share data, but it is not a good format to store spreadsheets which very often contain such formulas.

you can store anything in CSV, it’s just not always very practical ;)

I don’t think you can have spreadsheets with multiple “sub sheets” (can’t think of an unambiguous name for them - basically the equivalent of browser tabs)

Pretty sure there’s no way to have graphical charts either.

technically you could do both, it’s just not practical at all :)
