Converter utilities capable of shp file to xls format conversion.
One of the possible shp to xls conversion that is sometimes sought by users is the one used to export coordinates data from ESRI shapefiles (.shp) to Comma Separated Value (.csv) or sometimes MS Excel (.xls, .xlsx) format. It appears this problem is mainly solved with various user made scripts found on ESRI resource sites and forums.
ESRI software usually can export data as .dbf databases which can also be processed to CSV/XLS, however these databases usually contain more than simple coordinate data.
Unfortunately, there is no detailed software record in the database for this conversion.
