Unable to save or export xml file

Hi there,

 

I am attempting to create an xml file using an excel file and xml schema. I map each category to each column which turns it into a blue table however when I attempt to export it or save it as an xml file I get the error message "cannot save or export xml data. the XML maps in this workbook are not exportable". Could you please advise why I keep getting this message. I have attempted 2 different excel files with the same schema.

    I also got this error and there doesn't seem to be any information on how to fix this. i followed this video to get the XML to "work" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apkk5MmLI90 - but obviously something went wrong if i can't export it. I tried saving the xlsx as an XML but it didn't copy my tags over. I also noticed that one of my columns the header is white instead of blue, not sure why. But I agree, it is frustrating trying to get any information on this error message.
