An OGW file is a workbook file created by Origin, a data analysis and graphing application used by various scientists and engineers. It contains one or more worksheets, which consist of data organized into columns and rows, and added notations. OGW files also store information about the workbook theme, column designation, and spreadsheet cell notation.
You can open OGW files with Origin and Origin Viewer. Origin is only available for Windows and is the primary program used to create, open, and edit OGW files. Origin Viewer is also commonly used since it is a free alternative to Origin and can be used in Windows and macOS.
