Hi All,

We have a requirement, in the back end database table in one of the column which is having XML data (HTML). While I am displaying the column through Excel Templates we are getting the XML data as it is in the output. Here we need your help to skip the XML tags while displaying the data.

Apart from the removing the XML data in the column is there any other option. Please suggest
