Edit Labview XML in Excel

[siggy2xc]

How do it edit an XML file created in labview using excel? When I open the file I'm getting an error saying "The specified XML source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create a schema based on the XML source data." I press ok and I can see all my data, but when I try saving as XML Data it gives me the error "Cannot save or export XML data. The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable." and when I save as XML spreadsheet 2003 it gives me a much larger file so it is obviously not the right data type.

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It is a cousin of HTML, and both are 'plain text' formats. You can open and edit it in Notepad. MS Word has an XLM interpreter, but if your XML is non-standard it will not be any fun. Notepad is very unintelligent but won't cause you any grief either.

XLS is a spreadsheet format used in MS Excel. It is a binary file, most definitely not 'plain text', and as unrelated to XML as MP3 is unrelated to PDF. Don't use Excel to open or edit XML files.
