CSV: Universal format compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, databases, and programming languages
Excel (XLSX): Native Excel format with proper formatting and data types
JSON: For web developers and API integrations
TSV: Tab-separated format preferred by some systems
DSS: A custom format that represents sparse grids and sheets efficiently in plain text: no more binary files that can't be previewed or edited in a text editor. DSS files are perfect for sharing complex data structures while maintaining readability and editability.
