Import the original XML file => creates a Workbook in SQL 2 Excel.

Locate the Worksheet you wish you modify and edit the SQL query inside SQL 2 Excel.

For example, if a query selects all fields from a table:

SELECT a.*
FROM mytable a

and you only want two columns...just change the query to:

SELECT a.colA, a.colB
FROM mytable a

(change column and table names to match what you want/need)
