I am looking for help converting some Excel XP data from a saved Excel’s
XML file to another XML file via XSL. I’m fairly new to this, so your
assistance will be much appreciated.
There’re two columns worth of data: yearMonth Quantity 2002-01 10 2002-02 8 2002-03 3 2002-04 5 2002-05 3 2002-06 4 2002-07 4 The way I know I reached the last row is that yearMonth column is blank. A non-blank yearMonth with blank Quantity is ok. I would like to convert the data into the following XML piece: <timeQuantity> <yearMonth> 2002-01 </yearMonth> <quantity> 10 </quantity> </timeQuantity> <timeQuantity> <yearMonth> 2002-02 </yearMonth> <quantity> 8 </quantity> </timeQuantity> Below is a piece of a saved Excel file and the xsl I have so far. I’m using named cells to get to various values. I’m not sure how to apply that approach here. I currently have a name for yearMonths cells and the quantity cells. I’m not sure if it would be better to name the entire block. === Excel piece: === <Names> <NamedRange ss:Name="name" ss:RefersTo="=Sheet1!R2C1"/> <NamedRange ss:Name="quantity" ss:RefersTo="=Sheet1!R2C4:R10C4"/> <NamedRange ss:Name="yearMonth" ss:RefersTo="=Sheet1!R2C3:R10C3"/> </Names> <Worksheet ss:Name="Sheet1"> <Table ss:ExpandedColumnCount="4" ss:ExpandedRowCount="10" x:FullColumns="1" x:FullRows="1"> <Column ss:AutoFitWidth="0" ss:Width="67.5"/> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3"><Data ss:Type="String">yearMonth</Data></Cell> <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">quantity</Data></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:StyleID="s25"><Data ss:Type="String">Forecast Name</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="name"/></Cell> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><Data ss:Type="String">2002-01</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s22"><Data ss:Type="Number">10</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><Data ss:Type="String">2002-02</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s23"><Data ss:Type="Number">8.29</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><Data ss:Type="String">2002-03</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s24"><Data ss:Type="Number">3</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><Data ss:Type="String">2002-04</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s23"><Data ss:Type="Number">4.9</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><Data ss:Type="String">2002-05</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s24"><Data ss:Type="Number">3</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s23"><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s24"><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s23"><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> <Row> <Cell ss:Index="3" ss:StyleID="s21"><NamedCell ss:Name="yearMonth"/></Cell> <Cell ss:StyleID="s24"><NamedCell ss:Name="quantity"/></Cell> </Row> </Table> ===xsl=== <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <forecast xmlns="http://www.vivecon.com" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" > <name> <xsl:value-of select="ss:Workbook/ss:Worksheet/ss:Table/ss:Row/ss:Cell[ss:NamedCell[@ss:Name='name']]"/> </name> </forecast> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Thank you, -Irina.
