Hi @navedkhan ,

 

Connect to the data file using "XML" and then the file will be brought into Power Query and you can manipulate it as needed.

 

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
