How the table is built
Most XML data files contain a list of the same element over and over – <product> inside <products>, <order> inside <orders>, <item> inside a feed. The converter finds the element that repeats most often and turns each one into a row. Simple child elements become columns, attributes become columns starting with @, and nested elements get combined names such as address.city.
If a field appears several times inside one record (for example several <tag> elements), the values are joined in one cell, separated by semicolons. Numbers become real numbers; values with leading zeros stay text.
Limits
- One table per file: if the XML contains several different lists, the longest one is converted.
- Very deeply nested structures produce many columns – remove the ones you don't need in Excel.
- The file must be valid XML; if not, you get a message instead of an empty table.
About XML and Excel files
- XML
- XML stores data in nested, named elements. It is used for data exchange between systems, for exports from business software and for many feeds.
- Excel (XLSX and XLS)
- XLSX is the modern Excel spreadsheet format (Excel 2007 and newer); XLS is the older format. Both store data in rows, columns and sheets, and open in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice and Numbers. All Excel tools →

XML to Excel – frequently asked questions
Which XML files work?
Files with a list of similar records, such as product feeds, order exports or address lists. The repeating element is found automatically.
What happens to attributes?
Each attribute becomes its own column, marked with @ – for example @id.
Can I convert Excel back to XML?
Yes, with Excel to XML. Note that the structure is then a simple row-per-record format.
Is my XML file uploaded?
No. It is parsed in your browser as data – nothing in it is executed and nothing is uploaded.
