I got a WSDL file to start to develop a way to communicate and extract data from a vendor web service. First time I face this kind of files. I loaded into Excel 2016, and I got a "DATABASE" with one record with these headings: "Attribute: name" and "Attribute: targetNamespace". I have no idea what to do with this file. Please, point out any ideas about how or where to start deciphering the puzzle for me. Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

Have a read up on SOAP webservices.

Thanks, it is much more complicated than I thought!

It may be or it may not be, it likely depends on the complexity of the webservice. Some SOAP services support getting data via GET and POST which is more straightforward than having to form XML, some don't though.

You'll probably end up either needing to write VBA to do this, or, if simple enough using Power Query.
