Importing An Xml File To An Excel Spreadsheet

Every enterprise requires the use of spreadsheets to tabulate their data. An XML map provides user the ability to save data in XML documents. This information can be then easily transferred into a predefined table in programs like MS Excel.
You can also use the Excel program to merge many information sources in XML documents. In a predefined spreadsheet, you can create maps to perform this action. Once you configure the map, you can easily extract the data into the table.
Are you new to this? Then these instructions should be of help:

• In the application window click on File in the Excel ribbon menu. Now select Options then click on Customize Ribbon from the menu.
• In the customization ribbon on the right side check the Developer checkbox, then select OK. Now the Developer tab will available on your Excel ribbon menu in the application window.

• Within the spreadsheet, choose the area where you wish to display the XML information, and then drag the first line from the schema table data from the Xml Maps window to that spot in the spreadsheet.
• Drop this line into the cell in spreadsheet to reconstruct table heading across the spreadsheet in a row of cells.
• Select the Import option to open the Import XML window in the file browser. It will be found on the Developer tab. Go to the location of the XML file, which holds the data of the table, and then highlight it. Click on the Import option, which initiates the importing process.
