How to use this office tool

  1. Upload an Excel workbook and select the worksheet.
  2. Confirm which row contains the column names.
  3. Convert and download the generated XML file.

What this tool does

Uses the chosen header row for XML element names and writes each following row as a record. Invalid XML name characters are normalized safely.

Excel headers + worksheet rows → UTF-8 XML records

The output represents cell values only. Workbook styling, charts, macros, and Excel formulas are not XML document features.

Supported formats

Reads XLSX and XLS. Produces a UTF-8 XML file for one worksheet per run.

Tips for better results

  • Use unique, descriptive headers.
  • Check blank headers because they receive generated field names.
  • Validate the XML against your target system’s schema if it requires one.

FAQ

How are Excel column headers used in XML?

Each header becomes an element name after invalid XML characters are replaced and names beginning with digits are prefixed.

How are blank Excel headers handled?

Blank headers receive generated names such as column_1 so every value has a valid XML element.

Are special characters escaped in the XML?

Yes. Ampersands, angle brackets, quotes, and apostrophes in cell text are encoded as XML entities.

Does the converter create an XML schema file?

No. It creates a straightforward records document, not an XSD tailored to a particular receiving system.

Can formulas be exported as formulas?

The XML contains stored cell values. It does not recreate Excel formula behavior or run the Excel calculation engine.
