Default Converting data-table into coding text

Hey everyone,



I've ran into this problem and can't seem to find an easy and fast solution. I have a large amount of data stored in table such as this:


I need to rewrite or convert it to a code where each data line would look like this:

<measure>
<observation-time>2011-02-10T00:15Z</observation-time>
<at>-4.5</at>
<td>-11</td>
<pi>1</pi>
<ws>1.7</ws>
<sc>33</sc>
<st>-3.3</st>
<sst>-0.9</sst>
</measure>

Any ideas how can I do this in an easy and fast way? I'm familiar with macros but I'm only at a beginner level.

I would really appreciate the help!

Hi niuri,

Since this is probably for output in text format, I'd suggest a Catalogue/Directory mailmerge in Word, with your Excel workbook as the data source. With that, you can easily add the relevant coding between the data fields. No macros required.

Hi again,

I've never used this mail merge tool, can you explain a bit more? I can't understand how does it work

Edit: Never mind! I've figured it out myself. Thanks a lot for your help! You saved me a lot of time...
