Learn how Excel handles XSD data types when you import XML data. Important: If an XML schema file (.xsd) does not define a specific data type attribute for an element (such as xsd:decimal), then Excel formats the cell as text by default when the XML data is imported.

To import and export XML data in Excel, an XML Map that associates XML elements with data in cells to get the results you want will be useful.
