Reading XML-File (AnaCredit)

MRTN

Hi everyone, 

 

I'm trying to write all datafields contained in the attached XML-file in a structured table which then can be used for further analysis. 

I tried to import the file as xml and then to utilize the xml-parse to pull the nodes, but sadly this is not working as expected. 

 

Any ideas on how to do this?

For jobs like this I normally use the Parse+XML macro available from the Public Alteryx Gallery.  

 

You can then tidy up the data with normal prep tools.

 

Attached is a packaged example that includes the macro.

Could you provide any details on what were your settings?

@MRTN , unzip the file and then open the yxmd file in notepad and edit the version as per the version you are using.

Thanks.

Unzipping might work. The macro has 2 parts to it and the workflow will have to point correctly to both.

 

I’d recommend installing the macro.

Here's the parse+xml macro install package, which should work for you.
