What is an ET file?
The ET file extension denotes a spreadsheet created by WPS Office (formerly Kingsoft Office), specifically within the WPS Spreadsheets application. It serves as the proprietary binary or XML-based container for the suite, functionally analogous to Microsoft's XLS format. The file encapsulates cell data, complex formulas, chart objects, and layout formatting. While historically proprietary, modern iterations often adhere to structures compatible with Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) specifications to ensure interoperability.
How to open an ET file
ET files are natively supported by the WPS Office suite, available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. While Microsoft Excel does not natively render ET files without conversion, users can convert them to XLS/XLSX using WPS or utilize generic file viewers. LibreOffice Calc provides partial support for importing Kingsoft formats via specific import filters.

What is an ODS file?
The OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) format is an XML-based file standard for spreadsheets, maintained by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). Standardized as ISO/IEC 26300, ODS utilizes a ZIP-compressed container holding separate XML files for content (content.xml), styles, and metadata. It serves as the native file format for the LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice suites, offering a vendor-neutral alternative to proprietary formats by strictly adhering to the OpenDocument Format (ODF) specifications.
How to open an ODS file
ODS files are natively supported by open-source suites such as LibreOffice Calc and Apache OpenOffice on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Microsoft Excel (versions 2007 SP2 and later) includes built-in support for opening and saving ODS files, though some formatting variations may occur due to ODF version differences. Google Sheets also provides cloud-based support for importing and editing this format.
