If you are working with XML data in Excel, you might encounter a situation where you cannot save or export your data as an XML file. This can happen if the XML maps in your workbook are not exportable. In this tutorial, we will explain what causes this issue and how to fix it.
Excel supports importing and exporting data as XML files, which can be useful for sharing data with other applications. In this tutorial, we will show you how to export data as an XML file in Excel using the following steps:

The RAND function is a volatile function, you can use this volatility to your benefit and record a macro that sorts data immediately after you recalculate and force the RAND function to return another set of random numbers. You then can attach this macro to a button so that each time you want to shuffle (random sort) data, all you need to do is click the button.
“Custom lists” is a useful feature that allows you to sort and fill data according to your own criteria. You can create lists that are relevant to your industry, organization, or personal preferences. For example, you can create custom lists of product names, department names, or specific project phases. Custom lists are not limited to a single workbook or worksheet. Once created, you can use them across different workbooks or worksheets, allowing for consistent data entry and autofill functionality in multiple files.
