Thumbs up Answer: How to XML Map Repeating Rows?

Hi David,

It sounds like you're trying to map repeating rows in Excel using XML. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you out:
  1. Open your Excel file and make sure you have the [Developer] tab visible. If not, go to [File] [Options] [Customize Ribbon] and check the box next to [Developer].
  2. Click on the [Developer] tab and select [XML Source] from the [XML] group.
  3. In the [XML Source] pane, click on [XML Maps] and then [Add].
  4. Browse to your XML file and select it. Excel will display a list of elements in the XML file.
  5. Select the element you want to map and click on [OK].
  6. Excel will ask you where you want to map the XML element. Click and drag a range of contiguous cells to map the element to.
  7. Click on [OK] to close the [Map XML Elements] dialog box.
  8. Excel will display a blue border around the first row of the mapped range. To map the remaining rows, click on the [Repeat] button in the [XML Tools] group on the [Developer] tab.
  9. Excel will display a dialog box asking you how many rows you want to repeat. Enter the number of rows you want to repeat and click on [OK].
  10. Excel will now display the blue border around all the rows you've mapped.
  11. Save your Excel file and export it to XML.

That should do it! Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
