Convert CSV to STC

Understanding csv and stc file formats

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a widely used plain text format for storing tabular data, where each line represents a row and columns are separated by commas. It is compatible with most spreadsheet and database applications.

STC is the file extension for OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template files, used by LibreOffice Calc and Apache OpenOffice Calc. STC files store spreadsheet templates, including formatting, formulas, and layout, but are intended for reuse as a base for new spreadsheets.
