&lt;p&gt;You are trying to aggregate multiple form&amp;#39;s data into&amp;nbsp;one spreadsheet?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a common desire but typically is done using a common database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Capture the InfoPath data into seperate records in a database and then use Excel to connect to the database and analyze the data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are trying to import the XML directly it sounds like but the issue would be trying to merge the multiple InfoPath forms.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>problem importing infopath xml data to excel</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/26731.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Feb 2008 03:24:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:26731</guid><dc:creator>Charles Heywood</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/26731.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=26731</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This may take 10 seconds for a knowledgeable person but it&amp;#39;s been driving me nuts for hours...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using Office professional 2003. I am trying to import data from an infopath form into a database in excel so that each new repetition of the form doesn&amp;#39;t overwrite the previous i.e. is added to the next empty row. (I&amp;#39;ve created an xml map so that each form&amp;#39;s data is on one row in excel.)&amp;nbsp;This should be possible but when I go to&amp;nbsp;data/xml/xml map properties in excel the &amp;quot;append new data to existing xml lists&amp;quot; tick box is greyed over and can&amp;#39;t be used. Anyone know why this is or have a solution ? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thanks&lt;/p&gt;
