How to import XML repport in Excel 2007

Question

Hi,
I am trying to import an XML repport form TestStand Inside Excel 2007.
I have the stylesheet givent by NI (as requested in the help for Excel 2010 version), which is working fine inside an HTML browser (<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="D:\[...]\atp.xsl"?>)
My problem is that Excel complains that there is not stylesheet, and creates on that is totally non usable. Does somebody already experience this kind of troubles ?
The help is only on XML import restrictions : http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2684A8DEF366983C8625769A00782F09
Thank you for you help
Olivier

SELECT J.c.value('(JobCode/text())[1]', 'varchar(10)') AS JobCode,
       J.c.value('(JobTitle/text())[1]', 'nvarchar(40)') AS JobTitle,
       L.c.value('.', 'varchar(10)') AS Years
