Data Feed inn Excel Form

I know this question does not belong in this group and I already posted it
in an other group but here is the only place I always get answers.I guess I
should explain my problem better I downloaded my product feed from
yahoo but it is not in an Excel form and I am trying to convert it to Excel.
on top of the feed it says the " <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"
?> ". Maybe this has something to do with it?

XML = Extensible Markup Language, now incorporated into
-- WindowsXP operating system (but not Win98)
-- MS Office 2003 (but not earlier versions.)
Yahoo programmers may have assumed everyone now
uses WinXP, which is not yet the case.

Re: Data Feed inn Excel Form


Sobolsoft and other sites have the converters, did you check via the search
link I provided?

Price range from about 19.00 to 200.00, though I didn't check all the
links, so likely someone has a free or trial/crippled version somewhere.

Re: Data Feed inn Excel Form

Office 2003 was the first version to support XML in Excel.

One way to get that data into a spreadsheet is to find a viewer that uses
tabs to separate the fields for display -the displayed data then could be
cut and paste into Excel. It would be a matter of experimenting.
