Hello Guilherme,

There is no out of the box solution, as it is not clear what xml schema you need.
However, that is fairly simple, since you can easily implement:
1. reading the excel with C#
2. create your xml file with C#

Hers's an example for reading an excel:

C#

var fileName = string.Format("{0}\\fileNameHere", Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
var connectionString = string.Format("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; data source={0}; Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;", fileName);

var adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [workSheetNameHere$]", connectionString);
var ds = new DataSet();

adapter.Fill(ds, "anyNameHere");

DataTable data = ds.Tables["anyNameHere"];

If you wish you can either implement your own xml schema or use Datatable.WriteXml method

Cheers,
Edo
