Re: Excel to XML

[Jeff Veit <jeff.veit@tanasity.com>]

Infoteria have a system. (I am not affiliated with them.)

It's aimed at recurrently having to save the same spreadsheet. There's a
one-time set up of a mapping, and providing the spreadsheet doesn't change,
you don't have to remap. Have tested with small spreadsheets and it works.

There is unlikely to be a general automated solution because unless you want
to just transfer formatting info to XML in semi-structured format (e.g.
<row><cell>content</cell><cell...etc</row> ), software can't divine the
mapping from Excel to XML.

Thanks to all answers. We're looking for an automated solution using
VBA+MSXML or something like that. While this kind of solution is found,
we'll save the single-sheet Excel-books into HTML and with a simple XSLT
translate the <table><tr><td></td></tr></table> structure into a customized
xml format.
