We cannot convert the value "System Host Name: MI …." to type Table Importing XML File

Ive Loaded in an XML file which seems really complex and its taken ages to open up all the  hierarchies to get to all the columns. However when I try and save I see the error

 

OLE DB or ODBC error:[Expression.Error] We cannot convert the value “System Host Name: MI ….” to type Table..

 

I dont know what the error is relating to, which column? all columns ? I dont know how to get past this issue.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Ive  getting so many issues tryng to import these XML files
