@Rahulkh I have built the sample workflow, where I read in your data as a comma separated value text file.

I am then using the Parse XML macro (https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Parse-XML/584b5589f499c704689e363b) to Parse your data out.

Alternatively you can use the XML Parse tool also in Alteryx Designer.
