Converting XML to Excel with Powershell

I've written a small sample to get you started. This contains the basic logic. I didn't include the code to add the headers (since this is quite trivial to accomplish and this also leaves something to do yourself)

[xml]$XML = @'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
<entry key="type">exSafe:Nocontract</entry>
<entry key="aspects">cm:version,cm:title,cm:own,cm:author</entry>
<entry key="cm:creator">1122334455</entry>
<entry key="cm:autoVersion">true</entry>
<entry key="cm:title">XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</entry>
<entry key="cm:modifier">1122334455</entry>
<entry key="cm:created">2013-07-28T08:30:51.000+01:00</entry>
<entry key="gwSafe:contractCustVend">XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX999</entry>

## Create Excel COM Object
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
# Set the sheet to visible so you can actually see it (for testing purposes)
$excel.Visible = $true
# Create a workbook
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
# Get sheet 1
$sheet = $workbook.Worksheets.Item(1)
# Set a counter
$x = 1;
# here we loop through the XML data and add this to the excel sheet
foreach ($entry in $XML.properties.entry)
    {
        $sheet.Cells.Item($x,1) = $entry.Key
        $sheet.Cells.Item($x,2) = $entry.'#text'
        $x++
    }
