Trados / Multiterm help

I'm hoping someone can help me out because I cannot for the life of me figure out what's happening. I'm trying to use Multiterm convert to make an Excel file into a usable file for a Multiterm term base.
It's supposed to convert an excel into three files: xdt, ftm and xml. I have the first two, but not the last. For some reason I always get a text file that Multiterm doesn't recognize when I try to load it in.
We had a course about it at school and it worked a singular time and now I can't figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong. It would make sense if the text file is what I need, except Multiterm wants an xml that I don't have. TT
