Hi guys


I read on Stack Overflow that export to XML (map) could be supported in 2nd or 3rd quarter this year.

We are currently evaluating Aspose.Cells and this is a key feature requirement for us. Any update on pending availability of this feature?

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Aspose

Can you tell me if you are supporting XML Mapping Import functionality from Excel Developer tab (please see attached print screen for more details) If yes how this can be achieved in C# - example code would be nice J


To be more specific below you can find Office Excel Interop example :


Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application application = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();

application.Workbooks.Open("C:\\test\\exceltemplate-with-xmlmapping.xslx");

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XmlMap map = application.ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps[1];

application.ActiveWorkbook.XmlImportXml("12", out map);

application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs("c:\\test\\excel-with-xmldata.xlsx");

application.Workbooks.Close();

Is there a way to view the existing XML mapping after loading an existing Workbook? Primarily, I need to connect the DataConnection to the Table that the connection maps to.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Cells.

Please provide us your sample excel file and explain what do you want to retrieve from it via some screenshots. It will help us investigate your issue and we will let you know if your requirements could be achieved using Aspose.Cells APIs.

31

In the attached spreadsheet sample.xlsx, there is a Workbook Connection named “Connection” that points to a URL for a web query. The data from that web query is XML data that maps to the sheet using the XML Map named “catalog_Map” to the table named “Table1”.


I can see the URL for the data connection; I need to see enough of the xml map to get the connection id and the table name so that I can determine where the XML data comes from (on the web) and where it goes to (in the document).
32

Hi,

Thanks for providing us the sample excel file clarifying your requirements and considering Aspose.Cells.

I have investigated this issue with the latest version: Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.6.3 using the following code and I think, it will suit your requirements. I have also attached the screenshot showing the quick watch values of the connection object. Also I have shown the console output of the code for your reference.

Once you have accessed the URL of your XML, you can retrieve it from internet using .NET Framework Networking APIs.

If it does not fit your requirements, could you please clarify it further so that we could look into your issue more closely and precisely. Thanks for your cooperation.

C#

string filePath = @“F:\Shak-Data-RW\Downloads\sample.xlsx”;

Workbook workbook = new Workbook(filePath);

WebQueryConnection con = workbook.DataConnections[0] as WebQueryConnection;

Console.WriteLine("URL: " + con.Url);

Console Output
URL: http://saluce-text-xml.azurewebsites.net/sample.xml

33

That’s only half the problem, though. First, I need a list of XML maps. In my sample spreadsheet, the XML Map is called catalog_Map (see screenshot). Next, I need to know what data connection id the xml map uses. Finally, I need to know the named table that the xml map actually maps to.

Aspose.Cells and XML Map .NET

Dear Madam od Sir,

Does Aspose.Cells support XML maps ?

I have an Excel file with attached xml schema and cells mapped to the schema.
Is it possible to import/export xml data in such excel using Aspose ?
I can do it in Excel from Developer tab using Import/Export buttons, but I want to do it programmatically, without starting Excel.

Best regards,

Darko

Hi Shakeel,

That’s great that Cells supports XML Maps now; we are also interested in this feature. However, it looks like this functionality is only available for the .NET libraries. Are there any plans on supporting this feature in Aspose.Cells for Java? There’s no mention of it in the Aspose.Cells for Java 8.7.0 announcement.

Thanks.
