Please use the following code generating excel file based on the xml.

public void XMLToExcel(string strXMLPath, string outputFileName, string sheetName)
{
string strPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(strXMLPath);
DataSet dsXML = new DataSet();
dsXML.ReadXml(strXMLPath);
strPath = strPath + "\\" + outputFileName + ".xlsx";
DataTable tblXML = dsXML.Tables[0];
tblXML.TableName = sheetName;
DataTableToFilePath(tblXML, strPath);
}
