    What actually changes

    XLSX and ODS are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The OOXML workbook is written as OpenDocument spreadsheet XML. Values, formulas and most formatting carry across.

    Worth knowing first

    Excel-specific features have no OpenDocument equivalent. Power Query connections, slicers, and newer dynamic array functions either vanish or convert to static values, which is silent and only shows up when the data no longer refreshes.

    Questions

    XLSX to ODS, answered

    Do macros carry across?

    No. Excel VBA and LibreOffice Basic are different languages, and the code is not translated.

    Is ODS an actual standard?

    Yes, part of ISO/IEC 26300, which is why several governments require it.
