Convert XML to Excel

Steps

  1. Upload or paste your XML - Drop an .xml file or paste markup directly. Everything is parsed locally in your browser.
  2. Review the detected rows - Repeated elements become spreadsheet rows. Nested elements are flattened into columns using dot notation (for example address.city).
  3. Preview the table - Check the first rows and column names before exporting.
  4. Download XLSX - Save the converted workbook to your device - the data never leaves your browser.

Before You Start

  • XML with a consistent repeated element (like <row> or <item>) converts most cleanly.
  • Attributes and nested elements are both flattened into columns.
  • Very large XML files depend on your browser memory; split huge exports first.

Alternative Methods

  • Excel's built-in XML import - In desktop Excel, use Data > Get Data > From File > From XML. Excel infers a schema and lets you choose tables to load.
  • Power Query - For repeatable imports, Power Query can transform XML on refresh, though it requires building the query once in desktop Excel.
