It took some time, but here is a microsoft excel editor to easily create xlm files.
I am aware it is much less usefull in Civ5 than it was in Civ4, but might help with creation of total-conversion mods or some files of smaller mods.
It has currently loaded all the information form appropiate unmodded Civ5 files.
So, if you want to compare some values for i.e. units or leaders, it is much easier to do so in this editor than in raw xml file.
Exporting will create files that should contain all required information and work fine if you use them to replace the original Civ5 files. If there are any problems, let me know.
Please note that I have reordered tags to display simillar ones together, and to make exporting easier. It does not create problems.
There are several problems though:
Please feel free to use the editor any way you like.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
I do not intend to update the editor with further Civ5 patches. It is a by-product of my work on Civ5 mod, so I will focus on that.
I will, however, try to make it as modding friendly as possible.

This editor was created anew, but I have used two already existing editors to teach myself how to do it. So, I would like to express my thanks to:
Talchas for original Civ4 editor
Kael for FfH2 version, which served as a model to creating this one

There are several problems though:
- Most of the files contain Tables that list all tags the xml contains. It will probably have to be removed to allow mods to work. But for now, I have decided to leave it as it is
- The output files are set to be created at /XML directory, so you have to create one in the directory you put the editor. To change that directory or the output file name, you have to edit the visul basic.
