How to save response data in Excel/CSV format in SOAP UI 5.2.1?

You need to use an Excel API to communicate or manipulate data in the Excel files.

Download Java Excel API and place the JXL.jar file in the “lib” folder of your SoupUI installation directory. 

Assume the response is like: 

<Response xmlns="http://localhost/something">
   <content>some content</content>
   <id>100</id>
</Response>

Add a Groovy test step

import jxl.*
import jxl.write.*

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("RequestStep#ResponseAsXml") // Change RequestStep name

log.info holder.getXml()  // will display /Log the response in Xml

WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(new File("C:/output.xls"))
WritableSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Worksheet 1", 0)

log.info(sheet.isHidden())

xPath1 = "//*:id/text()"     // use xPath to access the value from response
xPath2 = "//*:content/text()"

log.info holder.getNodeValue(xPath1)
log.info holder.getNodeValue(xPath2)

Label label = new Label(0, 1, holder.getNodeValue(xPath1)); //column=0,row=1
sheet.addCell(label);
Label label1 = new Label(2, 2, holder.getNodeValue(xPath2)); //column=2,row=2
sheet.addCell(label1); 

workbook.write();
workbook.close();
