XML Import issues

Does any one know how to import an XML files into the Power BI Desktop App? I have tried adding an itereative tag to every element as well to try and get around "The multiple root elements.", because every element starts with the open and closed tag "row." That just throws a different error I assume because it is no longer a tradtional XML file.

Hi @craig615 ,

According to your error message, here's a similar thread for your reference: There are multiple root elements

Hope it helps!

Hi @craig615 

 

Have you verified that the XML you are trying to load is valid?  You could use this Best Online XML Validator Tool (codebeautify.org)

 

Please post a complete example of one of the XML files so I can check it.

 

Regards

 

Phil
