Properly mapping an xml schema in Excel -


long time reader, first time poster. it's time mine site it's knowledge!

i'm trying set xml schema , populate data inside excel. i've made definitions complextypes because reused quite often. if reference type, example 3 times, inside excel maps type once.

i'm pretty new schemas boss wants me use them. other criticism appreciated.

xml schema:

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema">   <!-- type definitions (doorstyle, colour, accessory , tamarackmodel) -->  <xsd:complextype name="doorstyle">   <xsd:sequence>     <xsd:element name="style" type="xsd:string"/>       <xsd:element name="wood" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:element name="colour" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:element name="imgsrc" type="xsd:string"/>   </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complextype>  <xsd:complextype name="colour">   <xsd:sequence>     <xsd:element name="colour" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:element name="wood" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:element name="imgsrc" type="xsd:string"/>   </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complextype>  <xsd:complextype name="accessory">   <xsd:sequence>     <xsd:element name="pdf" type="xsd:string"/>   </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complextype>  <xsd:complextype name="tamarackmodel">   <xsd:sequence>     <xsd:element name="drawing" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:element name="reversedrawing" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:element name="pricesheet" type="xsd:string"/>   </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complextype>   <!-- group definitions (doorstyles, colours, accessories , tamarackmodels) -->  <xsd:element name="doorstyles">   <xsd:complextype> <!-- <xsd:attribute name="url" type="xsd:string" fixed="http://www.muskokacabco.com/muskoka-kitchens-gallery-door-styles.html"/> -->     <xsd:sequence>       <xsd:element name="doorstyle" type="doorstyle"/>       <xsd:element name="doorstyle" type="doorstyle"/>       <xsd:element name="doorstyle" type="doorstyle"/>     </xsd:sequence>   </xsd:complextype> </xsd:element>  <xsd:element name="colours">   <xsd:complextype> <!-- xsd:attribute name="url" type="xsd:string" fixed="http://www.muskokacabco.com/muskoka-kitchens-gallery-stain-colours.html"/> -->     <xsd:sequence>       <xsd:element name="colour" type="colour"/>       <xsd:element name="colour" type="colour"/>       <xsd:element name="colour" type="colour"/>     </xsd:sequence>   </xsd:complextype> </xsd:element>  <xsd:element name="accessories">   <xsd:complextype> <!-- <xsd:attribute name="url" type="xsd:string" fixed="http://www.muskokacabco.com/muskoka-kitchens-accessories.html"/> -->     <xsd:sequence>       <xsd:element name="accessory" type="accessory"/>       <xsd:element name="accessory" type="accessory"/>       <xsd:element name="accessory" type="accessory"/>     </xsd:sequence>   </xsd:complextype> </xsd:element>  <xsd:element name="tamarackmodels">   <xsd:complextype> <!-- <xsd:attribute name="url" type="xsd:string" fixed="http://www.muskokacabco.com/muskoka-kitchens-tamarack-models.html"/> -->     <xsd:sequence>       <xsd:element name="tamarackmodel" type="tamarackmodel"/>       <xsd:element name="tamarackmodel" type="tamarackmodel"/>       <xsd:element name="tamarackmodel" type="tamarackmodel"/>     </xsd:sequence>   </xsd:complextype> </xsd:element>   <!-- overall structure -->  <xsd:element name="muskokasite"> <!-- <xsd:attribute name="url" type="xsd:string" fixed="http://www.muskokacabco.com"/> -->   <xsd:complextype>     <xsd:sequence>       <xsd:element ref="doorstyles"/>       <xsd:element ref="colours"/>       <xsd:element ref="accessories"/>       <xsd:element ref="tamarackmodels"/>      </xsd:sequence>   </xsd:complextype> </xsd:element>  </xsd:schema> 

so reference each type 3 times, in excel lets me map each type once if choose root. have loved include screenshot apparently new users can't that...

so apparently "maxoccurs" attribute on elements defaults one. set "unbounded" , works now.

    <xsd:group name="doorstyles">       <xsd:sequence>         <xsd:element ref="doorstyle" maxoccurs="unbounded"/>       </xsd:sequence>     </xsd:group>
