How it works: The server reads rows from the first worksheet and writes each row as an XML item beneath the configured root element.

Data Conversion Best Practices
- Always keep backups of your original files before conversion
- Review converted data for completeness before using in production
- Test conversions with sample files before processing large datasets
- Verify data integrity after complex multi-step conversions
- Check special characters, formatting, data types, and structure because they may be represented differently after conversion
- Document your conversion settings if you need to repeat the process
