Import or convert XML data into MS Excel with one click using "XMLtoXLS". This XML file utility is a Microsoft Excel 97/2000/2002 Add-In to convert XML data to an Excel spreadsheet. The XML data fields, including XML attribute data, are imported into a tabular report format  aligned with the structure of the element tree in the XML file.  After the XML data is imported to MS Excel, it can be edited and printed as required. The demo version imports approximately 70% of the XML file for inspection and evaluation. XMLtoXLS is a one click solution and does not require XML expertise or DTD/Schemas or other XML specific software.
