FAQ

What kind of XML files can I convert?

Any well-formed XML where a root element contains repeating child elements (for example <employee>, <row>, or <item>) works best. Each child element becomes a row in Excel and its children or attributes become columns.

How are XML attributes handled?

Attributes on record elements are added as extra columns, using names prefixed with @ (for example @id). This keeps attribute values visible in the resulting spreadsheet.

Why does the preview show only a few rows?

For performance reasons the on-page preview only shows the first few rows. The downloaded XLSX file still contains all rows that were parsed from your XML.

Can I change column names or data types?

Yes. After downloading the XLSX file you can rename columns, change formats, or apply formulas directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any other spreadsheet application.
