Convert XML files to Excel spreadsheets instantly with our free online converter. Transform complex hierarchical XML data into organized rows and columns that you can analyze, filter, and share in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application.

Whether you're working with API exports, configuration files, database dumps, or business system reports, our converter handles XML files of any size and complexity - preserving your data structure while making it accessible in a familiar spreadsheet format.

Why Convert XML to Excel?

XML is excellent for data storage and transfer, but analyzing XML data directly is difficult. Converting to Excel unlocks powerful capabilities:

  • Data Analysis: Use Excel's sorting, filtering, pivot tables, and formulas to analyze your XML data without programming.
  • Business Reporting: Transform ERP exports, financial data, and inventory reports into professional spreadsheets for stakeholders.
  • Data Migration: Move data between systems by converting XML exports to Excel for review, cleanup, and import into new applications.
  • Collaboration: Share XML data with colleagues who are comfortable with spreadsheets but not XML markup.
  • Data Validation: Review and verify XML data in a visual grid format before processing or importing into databases.

Common XML to Excel Use Cases

  • ERP & CRM Exports: SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, and other enterprise systems often export data as XML. Convert to Excel for analysis and reporting.
  • E-commerce Product Feeds: Process product catalogs, inventory updates, and order data from platforms like Amazon, eBay, or Shopify.
  • Financial Data: Bank statements, transaction logs, and accounting exports in XML format can be converted for reconciliation and analysis.
  • API Response Data: Convert XML API responses into spreadsheets for testing, documentation, or data extraction.
  • Sitemap Analysis: Convert XML sitemaps to Excel to audit website structure, URLs, and last modification dates.
  • Configuration Review: Transform XML configuration files into readable spreadsheets for documentation and review.

How the Converter Works

Our XML to Excel converter intelligently transforms hierarchical XML data into a flat tabular structure:

  1. Validation: Your XML file is validated for well-formedness. If errors are detected, you'll receive clear feedback.
  2. Structure Analysis: The converter analyzes your XML structure to determine the optimal table layout.
  3. Data Mapping: XML elements and attributes become column headers. Repeating elements become rows.
  4. Excel Generation: Data is written to an Excel file with proper formatting and data types preserved.

Conversion Rules:

  • Each XML tag or attribute becomes a column header
  • Repeating elements create separate rows
  • Nested structures are flattened with parent-child relationships preserved
  • Text content and attribute values populate the cells

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert XML to Excel?

Converting XML to Excel is simple:

  1. Upload your XML file using the file picker above
  2. Select your preferred Excel format (XLSX or XLS)
  3. Click "Run Conversion"
  4. Download your Excel file

How do I open an XML file in Excel?

While Excel can open XML files directly, it often displays the raw markup or requires complex schema mapping. Our converter transforms XML into a properly formatted spreadsheet with clean columns and rows, ready for immediate analysis without any manual configuration.

Can I convert large XML files to Excel?

Yes, our converter handles large XML files efficiently. However, Excel has row limits (1,048,576 rows for XLSX). For very large datasets, consider converting to CSV format instead, which has no row limits.

Will nested XML elements be converted correctly?

Yes. The converter flattens nested XML structures while preserving relationships. Child elements become columns with data populated in the appropriate rows. Complex hierarchies are intelligently mapped to a tabular format.

Is the XML to Excel converter free?

Yes, basic XML to Excel conversion is free with file size limits. For larger files, batch processing, or API access, see our pricing plans.

Is my XML data secure?

Absolutely. All uploads use HTTPS encryption. Source files are deleted immediately after conversion, and result files are automatically removed within 24 hours. We never access or store your data beyond the conversion process.

Can I convert Excel back to XML?

Yes! Use our Excel to XML converter to transform spreadsheet data back into structured XML format. Read our guide on creating structured XML with nested levels.
