This answer is equally for you as well as @Alex, @Michael and @forty-two. I am illustrating it using Excel 2010, so if you're on another version, I'll leave it up to you to make the necessary adjustments. First thing, make sure the developer tab shows (Click the File tab, Options). <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xR8dI.jpg" alt="Excel 2010 options for Developer tab"> You now have to create an XML source from your XSD: click the Developer tab; in the XML group, toggle Source button to show the Xml Source task pane; then click the XML Maps button. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8MAxi.jpg" alt="Excel showing key UI elements for creating an XML map"> Click Add button at the prompt; point to the XSD file; then click OK to go back to the main screen. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zlJOg.jpg" alt="Excel showing XSD loaded in an XML map"> Then you can drag and drop your shipOrder to a cell in a worksheet, to anchor the generated mapped table. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4YbuK.jpg" alt="Excel showing mapped XSD"> Next, you may use Import to get your XML data into the spreadsheet, and Export to get it out. There are a couple of additional things to pay attention to; read <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/export-xml-data-HP010206401.aspx" rel="noreferrer">this article on Microsoft's site</a>; pay particular attention to the issues with exporting XML data (error XML maps in my workbook are not exportable). This is because of the 1 to many cardinality between shiporder and item. You can try to handle it using mapped ranges - I'll leave this all up to you. The best would be for you to read the online help for the XML developer section...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
