 I did it without the XML parser and was happy to see others use that tool so I could understand it better. I did notice that the XML Parser solutions I looked used a lot fewer tools but took a minute or two to run while mine takes 2.2 seconds. Then again mine took a couple of hours to build.

I tried both RegEx and XML Parse tools and neither matched the given solution.  Looked at the downloaded data and there are discrepancies there, so I think the starting data is different now.  Kept the RegEx workflow as it is much faster.

A large amount of effort went into parse this data, but when it's done it is very rewarding.

Here's my Effort. Doesn't quite match the provided answer, but as others have commented, it looks like the source data has changed slightly
