    <p>Basically I want to be able to specify an xml or 2 like so (would be great if you could select a folder and it would grab all the xml files from there):</p> <p>Xml 1:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Client&gt; &lt;LastName&gt;Bill&lt;/LastName&gt; &lt;FirstName&gt;Gates&lt;/FirstName&gt; &lt;MiddleName/&gt; &lt;Suffix/&gt; &lt;DateOfBirth&gt;30-May-1968&lt;/DateOfBirth&gt; &lt;PlaceOfBirth/&gt; &lt;SSN&gt;n/a&lt;/SSN&gt; &lt;Gender&gt;Male&lt;/Gender&gt; &lt;District&gt; &lt;City&gt;SHELTON&lt;/City&gt; &lt;Mayor&gt;wong&lt;/Mayor&gt; &lt;/District&gt; &lt;State&gt;WA&lt;/State&gt; &lt;Zip&gt;96484&lt;/Zip&gt; &lt;/Client&gt; </code></pre> <p>Xml 2:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Client&gt; &lt;LastName&gt;Warron&lt;/LastName&gt; &lt;FirstName&gt;Buffet&lt;/FirstName&gt; &lt;MiddleName&gt;P&lt;/MiddleName&gt; &lt;Suffix/&gt; &lt;DateOfBirth&gt;12-Aug-1957&lt;/DateOfBirth&gt; &lt;PlaceOfBirth&gt;Mississippi&lt;/PlaceOfBirth&gt; &lt;SSN&gt;n/a&lt;/SSN&gt; &lt;Gender&gt;Male&lt;/Gender&gt; &lt;City&gt;Missi&lt;/City&gt; &lt;State&gt;KS&lt;/State&gt; &lt;Account&gt; &lt;Type&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Cash&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Currency&gt;USD&lt;/Currency&gt; &lt;Country&gt;USA&lt;/Country&gt; &lt;/Type&gt; &lt;/Account&gt; &lt;Zip&gt;66096&lt;/Zip&gt; &lt;/Client&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then put a list of xpaths in column A of an excel sheet (ie. 'Xpaths') such as:</p> <pre><code>/Client/DateOfBirth /Client/Account/Type/Name /Client/Zip /Client/District/City </code></pre> <p>Desired behavior: Receive results in a table of a new excel sheet (ie. 'Results') with columns such as:</p> <pre><code>/Client/DateOfBirth /Client/Account/Type/Name /Client/Zip /Client/District/City ---------------- ------------------------ ------------ -------------------- 30-May-1968 96484 SHELTON 12-Aug-1957 Cash 66096 </code></pre> <p>Wouldn't mind if this was done using excel vba macro.</p> <p>UPDATE - debugging Tim's answer: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/i4pjI.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    1. COYou can use xpath with an instance of msxml, and use Dir() to loop though all the XML files in a folder. Your sample XML has no root element, so that might cause a problem if that' the whole content.

    2. COYou ask a lot. Do you have any code written so far? As Tim mentioned, there's no root element, so the file won't parse properly.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
