Examples

E-commerce Manager

Background

The manager maintains a product list in Excel and needs to update the website's XML product feed.

Problem

The website requires a specific XML structure that doesn't match the raw spreadsheet layout.

How to use

Upload the product list, set the root element to 'catalog' and row element to 'product', then enable header detection.

rootElement: 'catalog', rowElement: 'product', hasHeader: true

Outcome

A clean XML file where each product row is wrapped in <product> tags, ready for the website import.

2. System Configuration Migration

Software Developer

Background

A developer has server settings stored in an Excel sheet and needs to convert them into an XML config file.

Problem

Manual conversion is error-prone and time-consuming for large datasets.

How to use

Upload the settings file, ensure 'Trim Whitespace' is checked to avoid formatting errors, and set the root element to 'configuration'.
