Often, you have to work with a Microsoft Access database, which uses the relatively new and default database format,.accdb. Opening such files in Microsoft Excel, an excellent spreadsheet editor, seems like the most viable choice. But accessing.accdbformat in Excel is not as seamless!
You have to either convert the.accdbfile into an Excel-supported format or import the data in Excel using the built-in methods. Once you understand how to do both, pick one that works best.
How can I convert .accdb files to .xlsx?
1. Via a free online converter
If you are looking for a freeaccdbto Excel converter online,RebaseDatais one of the best options right now.
All you have to do is go toRebaseData> drop theACCDBfile in the dedicated box > wait for the upload and conversion to complete > and finally, download the Excel-supported file.
The online tool isn’t perfect and often takes minutes to convert.accdbfile to.xlsxor even throws an error at times. Of the two files I tried,RebaseDatacould convert only one. For the other, I kept getting an error!
2. Via Export to Microsoft Excel option
If the online converter doesn’t work, you can always export the.accdbMicrosoft Access Database to Microsoft Excel and view/modify the data. The entire process didn’t take more than a minute for me!

These are all the ways you can convert theACCDBfile to an Excel-supported.xlsxformat for free and open.accdbdirectly in Microsoft Excel without conversion.
