I’m used XPath in Keetle Spoon for first column: //Data[@name='Computer']/@value but I get result:

john
john
john
john

but I want:

john
john
adam
tom

From your comments, it sounds like what you are doing involves looping through nodes with one XPath and then applying another XPath from that context, so you need to use the loop XPath:

/RecoverKeys/Key

and the non-loop XPath:

Data[@name = 'Computer']/@value
