SaveAsXMLData Method

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

expression.SaveAsXMLData(Filename, Map)

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Filename    Required String. A string that indicates the name of the file to be saved. You can include a full path; if you don't, Microsoft Excel saves the file in the current folder.

Map    Required XmlMap object. The schema map to apply to the data.

Remarks

This method will result in a run-time error if Excel cannot export data with the specified schema map. To check whether Excel can use the specified schema map to export data, use the IsExportable property.

Example

The following example verifies that Excel can use the schema map "Customer" to export data, and then exports the data mapped to the "Customer" schema map to a file named "Customer Data.xml".

Sub ExportAsXMLData()
    Dim objMapToExport As XmlMap
    
    Set objMapToExport = ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps("Customer")
    
    If objMapToExport.IsExportable Then

        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAsXMLData "Customer Data.xml", objMapToExport
    Else
        MsgBox "Cannot use " & objMapToExport.Name & _
               "to export the contents of the worksheet to XML data."
    End If
End Sub
