How do I create a line chart direct from xml or convert xml to ArrayCollection

Question

The xml is simple:
<data>
<row name="Q1">
<expenses>64</expenses>
<revenue>98</revenue>
<profit>34</profit>
</row>
<row name="Q2">
<expenses>44</expenses>
<revenue>28</revenue>
<profit>64</profit>
</row>
<row name="Q3">
<expenses>14</expenses>
<revenue>58</revenue>
<profit>54</profit>
</row>
</data>
it's dynamically generated as a string so could be created in xml format, or ArrayCollection, or any other format that works. However I can't find a example of using xml as the datasource that works. I've tried to convert it to an ArrayCollection first but that didn't work either.
Alternatively I could store the data as a string "Month: "May", Profit: 2400, Expenses: 575, Amount: 456", then:
expensesAC2.addItem({Month: "May", Profit: 2400, Expenses: 575, Amount: 456 });
works but:
var settings:String = resultXML.row[0];
expensesAC2.addItem({settings});
doesn't work. Any suggestions, or links to a tutorial that works would be really appreciated?

Hi all,
This issue was resolved off-line, however, I wanted to note a few points that were shared with me.
Learnings from Forum discussion:
Best practice is to use a combination of INDEX and MATCH functions instead of Vlookups.  Using the VLOOKUP function can result in a very slow dashboard if using a lot of data. 
Also, when using the Filter Component note the destination field as the filter component does not copy the first filter value at all so you have to adjust by one column to accommodate for this (two columns if you have 3 filters etc).
