Output as XML

 

I have had a number of requests for Alteryx to provide XML as an output format. It would be great to have configuration settings to allow for just text based output:
<Row ID="18606" Order_Priority="Not Specified" Discount="0.01" Unit_Price="2.88" Shipping_Cost="0.5"/>

As well as well formatted output, like this:
<Property>
    <name>measured_depth</name>
    <dataType>FLOAT32</dataType>
    <numberOfDimensions>1</numberOfDimensions>
    <units>m</units>

    <data>1456.3453</data>
</Property>

I hand crafted a macro that transform a flat csv or excel sheet into a 3 levels XML - but it is very restricted to the table structure of the input/output file (will be 3 levels) and not for general use.

hey ZoeyL1GL, can you share your macro so I can see if I can apply to my workflow? I'm dealing with a similar situation that I need to convert csv/excel to xml to process on Workday.
