Hello Gurus,

Hope your staying safe, posting after long time.

so I have a sheet with table that contains Level, XML tag and Value in Column A, B and C respectively as shown below in Sheet named as "Master"

LEVEL (COLUMN A)XML TAG (COLUMN B)VALUE (COLUMN C)
1​
<AppHdr>
2​
<Fr>
3​
<OrgId>
4​
<Id>
5​
<OrgId>
6​
<Othr>
7​
<Id>50
2​
<To>
3​
<OrgId>
4​
<Id>
5​
<OrgId>
6​
<Othr>
7​
<Id>60
2​
<BMsgIdr>MSG1
2​
<MDefIdr>MSG2

The output will be multi level XML tags in new sheet starting from column A

<AppHdr>
<Fr>
<OrgId>
<Id> 50
<OrgId>
<Othr>
<Id> 50
</Id>
</Othr>
</OrgId>
</Id>
</OrgId>
</Fr>
<To>
<OrgId>
<Id> 51
<OrgId>
<Othr>
<Id> 60
</Id>
</Othr>
</OrgId>
</Id>
</OrgId>
</To>
<BMsgIdr> MSG1
</BMsgIdr>
<MDefIdr> MSG2
</MDefIdr>
</AppHdr>

Any guidance is much appreciated.. Thank you for looking into it

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Please create a new Result Sheet and try

VBA Code:
Sub XMLtag()
Dim c As Range, r As Long, i As Long, dic As Object
Sheets("Master").Cells.Replace What:=ChrW(8203), Replacement:=""
Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
r = 1
With Sheets("Result")
    .UsedRange.Clear
    For Each c In Sheets("Master").Range("A2", Sheets("Master").Range("A2").End(xlDown))
        .Cells(r, c.Value) = c.Offset(, 1) & c.Offset(, 2)
        If dic.Exists(c.Value) Then
            dic(c.Value) = "</" & Mid(c.Offset(, 1), 2, 20)
        Else
            dic.Add c.Value, "</" & Mid(c.Offset(, 1), 2, 20)
        End If
        If c >= c.Offset(1) Then
            For i = c To Application.Max(1, c.Offset(1)) Step -1
                r = r + 1
                .Cells(r, i) = dic(i)
            Next i
        End If
        r = r + 1
    Next c
