All Rights Reserved.


Convert XML data to MS Excel with one click using "XMLtoXLS". This XML file conversion utility is a Microsoft Excel Add-In to convert XML data to an Excel spreadsheet. The XML data fields, including XML attribute data, are imported into a tabular report format  aligned with the structure of the element tree in the XML file.  After the XML data is imported to MS Excel, it can be edited and printed as required. The demo version imports approximately 70% of the XML file for inspection and evaluation. XMLtoXLS is a one click solution and does not require XML expertise or DTD/Schemas or other XML specific software. Mac users should contact the support link on www.forgram.com for status of the Mac version.

XML files with more than 256 unique element names cannot be converted to versions of Microsoft Excel before 2008 due to the limit of 256 columns per worksheet. 

Please DOWNLOAD the trial version of XMLtoXLS from www.forgram.com and try it with your XML files BEFORE buying!
