Using Excel for storing data is better or XML for automation Testing

I am using WatiN for automation testing. I need to save few values for future reference in my application. I need to know whether Excel is a good approach for storage or I rather use XML for this purpose.

Kind regards

If you just need to store the values go for an XML solution. It will give you the most flexibility to use the collected data later on.

If you need a good visualization then go for Excel where you can apply sorting and filtering and also have the possibility to create graphs.

You can also use a combination of both, i.e. save your data in XML and then import the data into Excel using the XML map feature.
