How can I view the XML form of an Excel *.xlsx
file?
Excel can export data into XML (or Extensible Markup Language). It is based on an XML schema, which defines the structure of the file. You can create it in NotePad. To convert the data, go to the Developer tab – Source.
On the Developer tab, in the XML group, click Source. In the XML Source task pane, click XML Maps. The XML Maps dialog box is displayed.
You should be able to navigate to it and see it by default, but if you can't, click the "Type" menu and select "XML Files." Select "As an XML table." This will convert the XML file into an Excel table.
XLSX files are just ZIP files, so unzip them using your favourite ZIP tool.
The following procedure worked for me:
You can do this easily using the tar
command:
tar -xf pathtofile\excel_file.xlsx
This works on Windows 10 and Linux
