How Can i convert a excel spreadsheet to a XML File by Chance1234
Posted: 23 Mar 06
|
The following code belows creates a structured XML file from a excel spreadsheet. In this instance the spreadsheet is called CGT and has data starting in Cell B3 with headings starting in cell B2.
The code has some generic features in it , such as finding used columns and rows.
Another feature is, it uses the data in column B to create a XML Heading when the data changes in column B. It also uses the spreadsheet name as the main XML tag.
Below is a cut down version of the data being used
CODECGTHEADING,CGTDATE,CGTDESC,CGTCODE,CGTNOMINEE,CGTTYPE,CGTEVENT,CGTEVENTDESC,CGTQUANTITY,CGTAMOUNT
Acquisitions,10/02/2005,Some Made Up Company ,NTFEEE,ANWM,BULK,BS,Purchase,1176.471113,"ú1,950.00"
Acquisitions,10/02/2005,Another Made Up Co,OPEG,ANWM,BULK,BS,Purchase,783.568888,"ú3,900.00"
Disposals,06/01/2005,Acme Made Up Company ,3244225,ANWM,INDIVIDUAL,LA,Lapse,-4258.84,ú0.00
And here is how the XML file looks

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

The code which produces is the xml file from the spreadsheet is as follow s
CODEPublic Sub ExportToXML()

Dim oWorkSheet As Worksheet
Dim sName As String
Dim lCols As Long, lRows As Long

'--------Set WorkSheet and Columns and Rows
Set oWorkSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CGT")
sName = oWorkSheet.Name
lCols = oWorkSheet.Columns.Count
lRows = oWorkSheet.Rows.Count
ReDim asCols(lCols) As String
iFileNum = FreeFile
Open "C:\temp\test2.xml" For Output As #iFileNum
'move through columms
For i = 1 To lCols - 1
If Trim(oWorkSheet.Cells(2, i + 1).Value) = "" Then Exit For
asCols(i) = oWorkSheet.Cells(2, i + 1).Value
Next i
If i = 0 Then GoTo ErrorHandler
lCols = i
Print #iFileNum, "<?xml version=""1.0""?>"
Print #iFileNum, "<" & sName & ">" ' add sheet name to xml file as First Node
'----------------------------------------------------------------

For i = 3 To lRows
If Trim(oWorkSheet.Cells(i, 2).Value) = "" Then
Exit For
End If
Debug.Print oWorkSheet.Cells(i, 2).Value
If str_switch <> oWorkSheet.Cells(i, 2).Value Then
If blnSwitch = True Then
Print #iFileNum, "</" & "RECORD" & ">"
End If

End If

For j = 3 To lCols
Print #iFileNum, " <" & asCols(j - 1) & ">" & Trim(oWorkSheet.Cells(i, j).Value) & "</" & asCols(j - 1) & ">"
Next j

str_switch = oWorkSheet.Cells(i, 2).Value
Next i
'------------End & close File --------------------
