All Rights Reserved.

XMLtoXLS is a Microsoft Excel 97/2000/2002 Add-In that extracts data from XML files and imports it into an Excel worksheet. The data fields, including attribute data, are imported into columns and rows in alignment with the structure of the element tree in the XML file.  The demo version imports approximately 90% of the XML data, and will give a clear indication of its suitability. XMLtoXLS is a one click solution and does not require XML expertise or DTD/Schemas or other XML specific software. PLEASE run the demo version before buying.
