Hi,

I am currently seeking a solution to extract certain information from XML between tags, name, address, gender etc. Basically I need to be able to make information presentable in a table form. I have used the below formula which works to extract the problem is if i create a template to extract from a certain cell the layout of each different XML changes slightly.

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(CLEAN(A1));"<Name>";"");"</Name>";"")

The above works however I'm not always guaranteed that the information is in cell A1

Is there an excel function to pull a cell containing a specific text? Example search column A for a cell that contains <Name> and present all the data in this cell.Or VBA code that could do this?Any and all input would be greatly appreciated!Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
maybe use Power Query (Get&Transform)
Data - New Query - From File - From XML
