I don’t know how to set the name of the picture in Excel to export XML accurately

When I use EXCEL to store it as an XML file, it is like this:

<Image> href = "File: /// 😧 /Example/img/lucy.jpg" </Image>


Indesign does not seem to recognize this path, and I have to replace it below with a regular way:

<image href = "file: /// d: /example/img/lucy.jpg"/>

This is a bit troublesome, not advanced enough, not smart enough.
What good way do you have, you can just set in one step in Excel?
Thank you ~

What is your workflow actually can you explain it a bit. I have not used this flow of  Excel->XML->INDD
