Did anyone write a notebook to read native Excel files in Mathematica? (*.xls under Windows) So far I have always forced the users to save the excel files as text files. It works fine, except it requires an extra step and therefore an extra opportunity for a human error. I have used Mathlink for Excel in the past and I do not want to use it for solving this since the whole point of it is to not require mathematica on those user machines. thanks.
