        </Table>
    </Worksheet>
</Workbook>

And here how it looks like when opened in excel:
screenshot

I need to indent the cells recursively and also to check if the rows have children if they do i need to make them italic,if not just to leave them unedited.
Example of how it should look like:

*Folder1*
   *Folder2*
       *Folder3*
          Product1
          Product2
   Product3
   Product4
 Folder4

Here is the xml i should get:

    For the indentation, I would start off by adding a new parameter to hold the size of the indentation you require for each level. In this case, I am using four spaces.

    <xsl:param name="indentAmount" select="'    '" />
    

    Then, within your template that matches the row element, you can have a parameter that stores the size of the current identation to use, which will initially default to an empty string (i.e no indentation).

    <xsl:template match="row">
       <xsl:param name="indentation" select="''" />
    

    When you recursively call your row template, you just add on the paramterised indentation amount to the current indentation, to increase it

    <xsl:apply-templates select="row">
      <xsl:with-param name="indentation" select="concat($indentAmount, $indentation)" />
    </xsl:apply-templates>
    

    Then, it is simply a case of outputing the indentation parameter for the first cell

    <Data ss:Type="String">
       <xsl:if test="$colID = 'A'">
          <xsl:value-of select="$indentation" />
       </xsl:if>
      <xsl:value-of select="translate(.,'?','&#8364;')"/>
    </Data>
    

    For the italics, you can simply define a new style

     <Style ss:ID="s23i">
       <Font ss:Size="10" ss:Italic="1" />
     </Style>
    

    Then, you can just set the style attribute of the cell depending on whether it has a row element as a child

    <Cell>
       <xsl:attribute name="ss:StyleID">
          <xsl:choose>
             <xsl:when test="$colID = 'A' and ../row">s23i</xsl:when>
             <xsl:otherwise>s23</xsl:otherwise>
          </xsl:choose>
       </xsl:attribute>
    

    As a side issue, you have the processing instruction <?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?> in your XSLT. This is not the right place for it, as it needs to appear in your output XML, and this won’t happen currently. To output this process instruction, you need to do this

      <xsl:processing-instruction name="mso-application">
         <xsl:text>progid="Excel.Sheet"</xsl:text>
      </xsl:processing-instruction>
    

    Here is the full XSLT in all its glory then….

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
