Why convert SQLITE to XLSX?
Excel cannot open a .sqlite file directly, so extracting table data into a spreadsheet format is required to work with it in Excel or share it with users who have no database tools. .xlsx is the standard Excel workbook format and is widely accepted by other spreadsheet applications.
How to convert SQLITE to XLSX

Open the .sqlite file, go to File > Export > Table(s) as CSV File, then open the exported CSV in Excel and save as .xlsx.
DBeaver OPEN-SOURCE
Create a SQLite connection in DBeaver, right-click a table or run a query, choose Export Data, select XLSX as the format, and click Proceed for a direct .xlsx output.

- Only row data transfers; schema definitions, indexes, triggers, and SQLite type affinity rules are not represented in
.xlsx. - SQLite's dynamic typing can produce mixed-type columns; Excel may misinterpret these, so review column types after import.
