Shankar,
First a question: Is your input file an excel sheet or a csv file?

If it is a csv file: write a ffschema for delimited file,using built in service converttovalues the o/p document generated can be used to generate the xml using documenttoXMLString service

If it is excel sheet: User 3rd party APIs like JExcel to parse your excel sheet (by writing a java service) and then use this document to generate XML string.(I believe there is a sample in wmUsers Shareware section describing how to use JExcel)
