How to turn a shapefile into a dbf?

I want to turn a set of files .shp, .shx .dbf that I created after creating a layer with QGIS, and I want to turn that into a 'table file' meaning a file that I can open up with Excel. I know that dbf files are good for this, as they are table database files. Any ideas?

Solution

  • The solution to what I wanted was:

    Open .shp layer with QGIS, Right click layer & Save As.. , Select .csv , at the geometry column select AS_XY , Save.

    and you get a full featured table with all attributes concerning a .csv file
