    <p>You say you use your XML as a "data-source" thereby using the XML-functionality of Excel (beginning with version 2003).</p> <p>When you open an XML-file in Excel, Excel offers you the option to transform it into a readable form (and giving you the option to automatically infere an XML-schema).</p> <p>Once you have done this, Excel has -- in the background -- 'used' the XML-file (and the implicitly generated XML-schema, but you can use your excisting schema) as an XML-Source.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nhojA.png" alt="Excel 2007 with opened XML-file and XML-source"></p> <p>From now on for Excel the column title can be changed (Excel has an internal way to link sex_of_person from the XML file to the second column of the table). <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OEVlv.png" alt="List with changed column headers"></p> <p>To demonstrate this I have in my example deleted all the lines except one. Note how Excel selects the second row "Sex of person" (<em>without</em> the header) when I choose "sex_of_person" in the XML pane. Now when I click refresh (in my german version: "Daten aktualisieren") Excel reloads the XML file and inserts the values in the corresponding columns. Using "Import" you can even change the XML source (provided that the format stays the same).</p> <p>So from now on I don't open the XML file in Excel (as you possibly have done) but I open this Excel-file that from now on defines the presentation (i.e. links from XML-element to a column) and includes the link to the XML-file.</p> <p>I am not absolutely sure this is what you meant.</p> <p>Regards Andreas</p>

    1. CORight, that's not what I meant. I am not the Excel user, I am the provider of the XML data feed. I want the *initial* appearance to the user to be as close to the source data as possible.

    2. COIs there no way for you to provide the Excel (something like 'the frontend' for your XML source) for the user? She would open the Excel-sheet and refresh the import. OR: What about creating the Excel-file on the server (e.g. generating Office Open XML Format)?

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.
