Ready to try the tool this guide describes?
What you need
An .xlsx or .xls workbook up to 25 MB with at most 50 worksheets. Hidden sheets are skipped.
Steps
Follow these steps in the tool.
- Open Excel to XML and choose or drop your workbook.
- If there are multiple visible worksheets, select the one to export.
- Review the table preview (first row is treated as headers).
- Select Convert to XML, then Copy XML or Download XML.
What the XML looks like
Output is a rows document where each data row is a row of field elements with name attributes. Header text is stored in the name attribute so spaces and punctuation stay valid.
Privacy
Processing stays in your browser. The workbook is not uploaded to Looty Tools servers for conversion.
