Import and append xml files

Post by grovelli »

The attached Excel file(please remove it from the unzipped Test folder) has code for the button on Sheet1 that imports and appends the 31 xml files(in the Test folder) into Sheet2.
Problem is, I can't make out why the Ora column on Sheet2 starts with 8 rather than 1, that is to say, instead of 24 rows for each day being imported, only 17 are.

If you open one of the XML files in Excel, you'll see that the table is in K25:AG48, with Ora=1 in row 25.
But your code copies the range K32:AM56, so it starts 7 rows below the row with Ora=1.
Best wishes,

Thank you Hans :-)
I've modified the range in code but aren't the column headings imported as well? I don't understand why there are a few, such as the CALB column, which aren't present in the xml files.

You merely copy a range of cells from the XML file into your workbook. The copy/paste operation doesn't "know" anything about column headings, so the data in the CNOR column of the XML file are copied into the CALB column of the workbook etc.

Thank you so much Hans :cloud9:
I have code in an Access mdb that works perfectly to unzip the xml content into the C:\test folder but when I carry it over to the command button in Sheet1 of the Excel file it fails at this line
If IsMissing(hwnd) Then hwnd = Application.hWndAccessApp
in the Modulo1 module.
How can I do it in Excel?

Change Application.hWndAccessApp to Application.hWnd
