Question

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xa:MeContext id="ABCe0552553">
  <xa:Data id="ABCe05525531" />
  <xa:Data id="1" />
  <CustID>Cust1234</CustID>
  <Name>Smith</Name>
  <City>New York</City>
  <Orders>
    <order Orderid="101">
      <Product>MP3 Player</Product>
    </order>
    <order Orderid="102">
      <Product>Radio</Product>
    </order>
  </Orders>
</xa:MeContext>

This well formed XML document feeds to Excel 2007 using MS VBA code. I was successful
with using DOMDocument and IXMLDOMElement to import the Name, City, and Product.
However, the xa:MeContext id, vsData1 id, VsData2 id, CustID, and order Orderid number won’t export to Excel sheet.

Each Excel row has the following headers with data filled from XML document:

MeContextID--vsData1--VsData2--CustID--Name--City--OrderID--Product--OrderID--Product

Answer 1

Below are two methods to output the fields you need. Note, that the XML you have posted does not contain the header definitions for namespace “xa:” so is not fully formed XML. I’ve removed them in the example so MSXML2.DOMDocument doesn’t throw a parse error.

Option Explicit
Sub XMLMethod()
Dim XMLString As String
Dim XMLDoc As Object
Dim boolValue As Boolean
Dim xmlDocEl As Object
Dim xMeContext As Object
Dim xChild As Object
Dim xorder As Object


    XMLString = Sheet1.Range("A1").Value

    'Remove xa: in this example
    'reason : "Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'xa'."
    'Shouldn't need to do this if full XML is well formed containing correct namespace
    XMLString = Replace(XMLString, "xa:", vbNullString)

    Set XMLDoc = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
    'XMLDoc.setProperty "SelectionNamespaces", "xa:"

        'XMLDoc.Load = "C:\Users\ooo\Desktop\test.xml" 'load from file
    boolValue = XMLDoc.LoadXML(XMLString)  'load from string

    Set xmlDocEl = XMLDoc.DocumentElement
    Set xMeContext = xmlDocEl.SelectSingleNode("//MeContext")
        Debug.Print Split(xMeContext.XML, """")(1)
    For Each xChild In xmlDocEl.ChildNodes

        If xChild.NodeName = "Orders" Then
            For Each xorder In xChild.ChildNodes
                Debug.Print Split(xorder.XML, """")(1)
                Debug.Print xorder.Text
            Next xorder

        ElseIf xChild.Text = "" Then
            Debug.Print Split(xChild.XML, """")(1)
        Else
            Debug.Print xChild.Text
        End If


    Next xChild

    'Output:
    'ABCe0552553
    'ABCe05525531
    '1
    'Cust1234
    'Smith
    'New York
    '101
    'MP3 Player
    '102
    'Radio


End Sub

And the following uses regex, which is really only useful if the XML is fixed to exactly your example each time. It’s not really recommended for parsing XML in general unless you want speed over reliability.

Option Explicit

Sub RegexMethod()
Dim XMLString As String
Dim oRegex As Object
Dim regexArr As Object
Dim rItem As Object

    'Assumes Sheet1.Range("A1").Value holds example XMLString
    XMLString = Sheet1.Range("A1").Value

    Set oRegex = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
    With oRegex
        .Global = True
        .Pattern = "(id=""|>)(.+?)(""|</)"
        Set regexArr = .Execute(XMLString)

        'No lookbehind so replace unwanted chars
        .Pattern = "(id=""|>|""|</)"
        For Each rItem In regexArr
            'Change Debug.Print to fill an array to write to Excel
            Debug.Print .Replace(rItem, vbNullString)
        Next rItem
    End With

    'Output:
    'ABCe0552553
    'ABCe05525531
    '1
    'Cust1234
    'Smith
    'New York
    '101
    'MP3 Player
    '102
    'Radio


End Sub

EDIT: Slight update to output to array for writing to range

Option Explicit

Sub RegexMethod()
Dim XMLString As String
Dim oRegex As Object
Dim regexArr As Object
Dim rItem As Object
Dim writeArray(1 To 1, 1 To 10) As Variant
Dim col As Long

    'Assumes Sheet1.Range("A1").Value holds example XMLString
    XMLString = Sheet1.Range("A1").Value

    Set oRegex = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
    With oRegex
        .Global = True
        .Pattern = "(id=""|>)(.+?)(""|</)"
        Set regexArr = .Execute(XMLString)

        'No lookbehind so replace unwanted chars
        .Pattern = "(id=""|>|""|</)"
        For Each rItem In regexArr
            'Change Debug.Print to fill an array to write to Excel
            Debug.Print .Replace(rItem, vbNullString)

            col = col + 1
            writeArray(1, col) = .Replace(rItem, vbNullString)
        Next rItem
    End With

    Sheet1.Range("A5:J5").Value = writeArray
