Extract text from Decision projects (AHP)
To convert AHP projects to another format, you need Expert Choice or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Decision Analysis Model" file type, you need software like Expert Choice or a similar tool.
The .AHP file extension is primarily associated with Expert Choice, a decision-making software based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology. These files function as project containers that store complex decision models, including goal hierarchies, criteria weights, alternative scores, and pairwise comparison matrices.
Internally, older .AHP files often utilize the JetDB (Microsoft Access) database engine, meaning they are essentially renamed MDB databases containing proprietary schemas. Users typically need to convert these files because they are locked into the legacy Expert Choice 11 desktop environment or incompatible with modern web-based tools like Comparion. Sharing these files is difficult as recipients without the specific software cannot view the decision logic or results.
For most users, the goal is to extract the data for analysis or presentation. The best conversion target is XLSX (Excel) for manipulating the raw decision matrices and weights, or PDF for preserving the final reports and sensitivity graphs. A niche secondary use for this extension exists as a PHP helper script in specific legacy web applications, which are standard text files editable with any code editor.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AHP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AHP converter.
