XlXmlImportResult

XlXmlImportResult can be one of the following XlXmlImportResult constants

xlXmlImportSuccess The XML data file was successfully imported.

expression**.ImportXml(XmlData**, Overwrite)

expression Required. An expression that returns an XmlMap object.

XmlData   Required String. The string that contains the XML data to import.

Overwrite   Optional Boolean value. Specifies whether to overwrite the contents of cells that are currently mapped to the specified XML map. Set to True to overwrite the cells; set to False to append the data to the existing range. If this parameter is not specified, the current value of the AppendOnImport property of the XML map determines whether the contents of cells are overwritten or not.

Remarks

To import the contents of an XML data file into cells mapped to a specific schema map, use the Import method of the XmlMap object.

If either of the following conditions is true, a runtime error will occur. If more than one condition is true, Excel returns a runtime error for the most severe (they are listed below with the most severe listed first):

  • If the XML data contains syntactical errors.
  • If import is cancelled because not all of the data could fit in the worksheet.
