Parse XML with multiples tag to columns

MadiNissi

Hello everyone,

 

I have an XML file with multiples <tags> and would like to parse a few tags (I don't need all of them) as columns and rows.

I have tried to use the XML macro but it doesn't work and now I am struggling to achieve my goal.

 

I am attaching the XML file so you can have a look at the format.

 

Does anybody know how to work with this?

I appreciate all your help.

 

Thank you.

Hey @MadiNissi,

You may want to tick some of these boxes if the information isn't coming through:

Is there an specific tags values you want to extract? It may be that Regex is needed to get the values.

Hi @MadiNissi ,

 

as @IraWatt pointed out, given you have multiple outer and child xml sections you need to check the boxes in your input tool:

This allows you to return these xml sections and then run them individually through the XML parsing tool:

This will then give you the outputs:

I've attached the exported workflow which includes the xml tool.

I hope this helps,

...if the macro isn't working I've attached this as an export too.

Thank you, @mceleavey! I am working on a XML project and looking for a way that allows me to parse the values from all levels. The parse XML macro did the magic! It's so awesome!
