read Excel file

I need to read an excel file and convert it to a document list.

I have been trying to do this, and cant seem to find any help anywhere…

Has anyone done this before?

For parsing Excel, there is no out of the box solution. There are some API’s available like http://poi.apache.org/ , which you can use in Java services inside IS. Searching the web should yield some more alternatives based on Java.

Thank you for your reply.

I have downloaded the POI library but I cant seem to install it…

Has anyone ever done this?
