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.

 

Regards.

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.
