You can shorten those steps by telling Import[] what data you want to
import. In the following example we import the values of the third
column for all the lines that compose the second sheet of the Excel
workbook.
In[6]:= Import["Workbook1.xls", {"Data", 2, All, 3}]
Out[6]= {213., 223., 233., 243.}
