You probably only need to use two functions from this package:
read_ods and write_ods.
Write the data PlantGrowth (from the built-in datasets
package) as a new file plant.ods in the current working
directory of the user’s session.
write_ods(PlantGrowth, "plant.ods")You can then read it back from plant.ods
read_ods("plant.ods")

You can append another sheet into an existing ods file with the sheet name being “mtcars_ods”.
write_ods(mtcars, "plant.ods", sheet = "mtcars_ods", append = TRUE)Read from a specific sheet. Notice row names are missing.
