Workbook.XmlImport (Excel)

Imports an XML data file into the current workbook. Possible return values are xlXmlImportElementsTruncated - The contents of the specified XML data file have been truncated because the XML data file is too large for the worksheet, xlXmlImportSuccess - The XML data file was successfully imported, xlXmlImportValidationFailed - The contents of the XML data file do not match the specified schema map.

This method allows you to import data into the workbook from a file path. Excel uses the first qualifying map found, or if the destination range is specified, Excel automatically lists the data. Don't specify a value for the Destination parameter if you want to import data into an existing mapping. The following conditions cause the XmlImport method to generate run-time errors:

XmlImport (Url, ImportMap, Overwrite, Destination)

Dim strUrl As String: strUrl = 
Dim xxiXmlImport As XlXmlImportResult
xxiXmlImport = ActiveWorkbook.XmlImport(Url:=strUrl, ImportMap:=)

Arguments

The following arguments are required:

Url (String) - A uniform resource locator (URL) or a uniform naming convention (UNC) path to an XML data file.

ImportMap (XmlMap) - The schema map to apply when importing the file. If the data was previously imported, contains a reference to the XmlMap object containing the data.

Optional arguments

The following arguments are optional

Overwrite (Boolean) - If a value is not specified for the Destination parameter, this parameter specifies whether to overwrite data that has been mapped to the schema map specified in the ImportMap parameter. Set to True to overwrite the data or False to append the new data to the existing data. The default value is True. If a value is specified for the Destination parameter, this parameter specifies whether to overwrite existing data. Set to True to overwrite existing data or False to cancel the import if data would be overwritten. The default value is True.

Destination (Range) - Specifies the range where the list will be created. You only use the top-left corner of the range.
