The XPath Wizard is a user interface that allows you to build XPath select statements without needing to know how to code XPath. The XPath Wizard makes it easy to navigate and select a subset of data in an XML data source. For example, instead of creating a table of all the employees in a company, you can use the Wizard to create a table of sales reps only.

This article will introduce you to the Wizard. For a detailed example that uses the Wizard, see How Do I Create a Select Statement With the XPath Wizard?
