Import XML file into Excel
Attached is a XML file and an Excel spreadsheet after I have imported this XML into it. Is it possible to rearrange the resulting spreadsheet so that the columns are Session#, SourceHost, SourcePath, StartTime, etc with the corressponding values listed by session #? Can this be done via the XML import process into Excel Or is VBA code necessary? Either way I would appreciate assistance. The current format is not manageable. Thanks.

Use an XML parser to parse through the XML file and populate the Excel file. There may not be a straight forward way of achieving this. Use the Microsoft XML Library to do so.

StampIT,
Here's a different approach by replacing your XML tags with HTML then opening in Excel.
Note: It will open the XML file and replace listed text string / tags with HTML tags then open in Excel. Seemed like the simplest approach since your XML was similarly structured to an HTML table.

Thanks for the replies. Both of these are way over my head. I thought there might be a simpler way of performing this task.
Bruce: I ran your code with the file I had but it resulted in data in the first row in a language I did not understand. I probably did something wrong.
If I can I should probably withdraw the question.

StampIT as I mentioned in my comment, there might not be a simpler way. But actually less difficult than u are thinking. This method is a tried and tested way and u can definitely give it a try.
I am confident about the direction.

StampIT,
Here is your sample XML file and I've modified the Excel file to save the output in the same directory. It should do exactly what you have asked.
Save them to a folder that you have read/write access to. Then open the Excel file and hit the button to Select the XML File. You are running Windows aren't you? What version of Excel do you have?

StampIT,
Thanks. I believe the suggestions by gbanik regarding the XML parser is something you should look at. While as he stated it may seem complicated, if you were to eventually incorporate it, you would have more functionality / flexibility in the long run, especially if your XML data structures change in the future.

Then it should work, (I'm running XP and Office 2003 SP3). The funny character output is a question mark in a weird character set on the first line (probably and XML creation error) but essentially it's what is in attached (HTML file). I've also included .jpg's of the output in Excel and the Error message for the weird character.
