read xml file to table

[sean1985]

both of the vi i tried: the XML tag describing the type of data is not recognized.

There is a huge difference between an xml and a spreadsheet file. You've been asked to post a small example of your xml file. Need to see the tags that you are using. As already mentioned, the function works when you create an xml file with the LabVIEW function for that. See the earlier post if you did not do that.

ahhh.. i think i made a mistake.. i have a file in .DAT then i went to microsoft excel and save as .xml.

but how, i still dunno what to do?

If you have the file in Excel, save it as a tab separated text file.  You can then use the Read from Spreadsheet File VI in the File I/O palette to read it into LabVIEW fairly simply.
