first row characters and foreign language

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to open dbf. file on excel. However, it shows characters and foreign language in the title row (first row). I checked the language setting, it is English. Any suggestion?

    Hello fadiahu ,

    You can use the translator in Excel, isn't a formula so you need to translate one by one:

    I hope this works for you.

      Hellokarchavez 

       

      I appreciate your help but i do not think this solution works. The problem with encoding in office 365.

        I don't think that's encoding problem, Excel shows you foreign text in headers as it is DBF.
