Hi Dino,

assume that your data is in file f.xls. Then we read the file, extract 

the first table and transpose the data because we want to work with raws 

not columns.

d = Transpose[Import["d:/tmp/t.xls", "Data"] [[1]]]

If your x values are 1,2,3.., this is the default and we my simply only 

specify the y-values like in:

ListLinePlot[Rest[d]]

However, if you have arbitrary x values, we must add them to every raw 

of y values:

d = Transpose[{d[[1]], #}] & /@ Rest[d];

ListLinePlot[d]



hope this helps, Daniel
