Convert xls to dbf

Import from XLS / XLSX (Excel) to DBF Base

This dialog window imports data from an Excel file. With "Import data into current (opened) database file" option, the DBFView will insert records from xls / xlsx file you selected into current dbf file. In this case the number of fields and field types should be the same as opened dbase file. If "Import data into another DBF file" is checked, the program will create a new dbf file based on selected Excel xls / xlsx file.

Convert xls / xlsx to dbf

When you export .xls files you should take into consideration some limitations:

1. Rules of the columns names.

- Columns names should be written down one after another (beginning with the cell A1).
- Empty names of the columns are not supported (columns laying to the left are only imported).
- Columns names longer than 8 symbols are truncated up to 8 symbols.

2. Rules of the columns type definition.

The columns type is defined according to the type of the data entered into the second row, i.e. if the integer value is written in the second row that column will be of the integer type.
