My sample input file looks like below:
.......

Basically the fields in the input value are seperated by ";". Based on the number of records in the input file, there should be corresponing entries in the output file.
Please help on this issue.

Did you try Carlom's solution

Code:
awk -F';' 'BEGIN{print "<Row>"}{for(i=1;i<=NF;)print "<Cell><Data ss:Type=\"String\">"$(i++)"</Data></Cell>"}
END{print "<Row>\n<Table>\n</Workbook>"}' missing_$line_${tmp_file_suffix}i.dat
