Converting xls generated xml to FusionCharts XML format for candlestick charts

[mfowler1]

Hi,

I want to use stock price information from Yahoo Finance which is delivered in xls format. I am having problems converting the spreadsheet data (symbol, date, open, high, low, close, volume) into a FusionCharts compatible xml format.

The xml I generate looks similar to this:

<root>

 

<row>

<Symbol>XYZ</Symbol>

<Date>2002-01-01T00:00:00</Date>

<Open>176</Open>

<High>176</High>

<Low>176</Low>

<Close>176</Close>

<Volume>0</Volume>

</row>

etc

Fusion charts uses a single line with multiple attributes:

<data>

 <set

open='24.6' high='25.24' low='24.58' close='25.19' />

Can anyone recommend an XML tool to convert XLS to XML in the correct format?

Many thanks,

Michael

You may write a script in any of the scripting languages to do this automatic conversion.

The Flash charts are displayed on a majority of devices and the JavaScript charts on devices that do not support Flash, all of it without writing a line of code.

 

Automatic rendering of JavaScript charts on devices (like iPad and iPhone) where Flash player is not supported.
