It depends on the XML
XML is a "language". Whether Excel can make sense of it or not depends upon
what the languages "says".
If you have the correct XSLT installed, then yes, Excel should be able to
read whatever you throw at it. You need to find out from the author of the
database which XSLT they are using, and possibly obtain the DTD and FOSI for
it as well.
Cheers
In the past Excel for the Macintosh has not had the capability of opening in a
spreadsheet format xml files which come from online databases. Has this
changed in Office 2008? Excel for windows has no difficulty with this
process.
