Wow!  My solution looks very different from everyone else's.  Even though I used fewer tools, it seems like I did a lot of organization and clean up manually.

XML might seem complex at first glance but at least it is structured. Breaking down the workflow into different steps makes it easy to understand the process.

I used the xml parser, but it took 6 to get all the fields. Not sure I did it the most efficient way.

I tried a different approach using the 'Parse XML' Macro, you can find it here: https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Parse-XML/584b5589f499c704689e363b
