I used XML parse tool to convert xml file to csv file. However, I am getting the error "No Root Element". Can someone tell me what that means and how to resolve it?

It means your xml isn't all contained within one element.

This does not have a root element,

 

<head></head><body></body>

 

This does have a root element,

<root><head></head><body></body></root>

 

You can add a root element in the Formula Tool,

'<root>' + [my_xml_field] + '</root>'

before using the XML Parse Tool.

 

If you're still having problems, feel free to attach an example.
