DBF to Xlsx

A program that takes students and subjects database files and converts them to an excel spreadsheet.

Who is this for?

Well, I made this (by request) for my college to convert their old records to spreadsheet files. I don't think anyone would make use of this but feel free to take a look!

Why?

It would've been much easier and a straight-forward process if it was encoded properly. The records in the database had a non-standard Arabic encoding and required a special software to decode them. Unfortunately, I didn't have access to that software (the machine that had it was broken).

gibberish So I had to do a lot of guessing to figure out the correct characters. It can be found in Converter.py.

Dependencies

It requires xlsxwriter and PyQt5.

pip3 install xlsxwriter
pip3 install PyQt5

Usage

Run Main.py.

chmod +x Main.py
./Main.py
