Easily export any single SQLite table to a clean Excel file with full column mapping and date format customization. Preview data before export to ensure accuracy, and retain all table structure and values with zero data loss. 📷
Simple Steps: Connect to SQLite → Select a table → Set Excel options → Export (107 rows exported in 0.016s in our tests!).
Merge data from multiple structurally similar SQLite tables into a single Excel sheet—perfect for consolidating related data (e.g., employees1, employees2, employees3). Select all target tables, map columns uniformly, set row limits per sheet, and export in one go. 📷
Export multiple distinct SQLite tables to separate sheets in a single Excel file (e.g., COUNTRIES, departments, employees to one Excel). Keep your data organized and avoid scattered files—ideal for database backups and comprehensive data sharing. 📷
Batch convert multiple SQLite tables to separate Excel files (one table = one file) and save them to a designated folder. Streamline bulk exports for large databases with just a few clicks, no repetitive manual work required. 📷
Run custom SQL queries on your SQLite database and export the filtered results directly to Excel. Support for all standard SQLite SQL syntax—filter, sort, and aggregate data before export to create targeted Excel datasets (e.g., SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary > 5000). 📷
Build professional Excel reports from SQLite by exporting filtered query results. Customize column selection, date formats, and report naming to match your business needs—no extra report-building tools required. Perfect for financial, HR, and operational reports. 📷
Export SQLite tables or query results to Excel files with auto-generated filenames using the current system date/time (e.g., employees_2024_10_18_10_19_53.xlsx). Use the built-in template syntax:
#yyyy# (year) | #mm# (month) | #dd# (day) | #hh# (hour) | #mi# (minute) | #ss# (second)
Ideal for time-stamped backups and daily/weekly report exports. 📷

Common Pitfalls When Exporting SQLite to Excel
- One worksheet holds 1,048,576 rows, so anything larger has to be split across sheets or files.
- Excel dates are serial numbers, so a date column only displays correctly when the cell format is set explicitly.
- Text that looks numeric loses its leading zeros unless the column is forced to text.
- A workbook allows 255 sheets, which caps batch exports that write one sheet per table.
- SQLite has no date type, so the exact text that was stored is what lands in the output.
- Dynamic typing means one column can hold numbers on some rows and text on others.
