Can anybody help me read this XML file and tell me what I am looking at

Question

I need to be able to read what is on each row and column, for example what is on row D3, but am unsure how I can do this. I know it makes a spreadsheet but what is the code or language this is written in and how can I learn to read specific info from this source?

I am under the impression it's xml and has the completed table that it creates but am still unable to make clear how I read what is on each row or column.

The BeautifulSoup module in Python can easily traverse though any sort of XML-looking code like this.

After putting your code inside of a string I've named pagecode, I ran this to extract what was in the fourth row, third column:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(pagecode, 'lxml')
rows = soup.find_all("wf:row")
cell = rows[3].find_all("wf:c")[2]  # Indexing starts at 0, not 1!
print(cell)  # Displays <wf:c tfmt="1"></wf:c>
