Reading directly from a binary excel file (I'm assuming that is the spreadhseet app you are using), is fairly involved. It can be done, and there is source code available from the open-office project to guide you. As Analog implied, if you were to save your spreadsheet (save a copy) as a text file, it is really easy to read it in. However, that instance of the spreadsheet will lack equations, sheets, and any of your graphs.
