    hello @elio_rizkallah - welcome to the community.  Yes for sure.  Is there a different XML in each cell in the column?  That would be a little weird but you can deal with it.  Basically what I would do is use Read Excel, grab that column you want and convert it to text, loop examples and Write Document for each XML cell contents.  Then use Loop Files on those XML documents and use Read XML inside.
