I don't know a way to import data from excel. I assume you can read anything 
from an excel file provided that you understand its format but I have never 
seen a description of that format (may be MS has a C++ library that does the 
job?) 
 

Rather than using some complicated C++ library to analyse the 
MS Excel format, I'd rather suggest you look into writing a small 
VB script - the language is part of Excel and its easy to do. 
(In Excel, go to tools/macro/record new macro and see what 
happens ; the Excel online help has more info, the Internet 
is full of samples and if you have any school kid somewhere 
near you, you're sure to have an expert VB programmer 
available ... ;). 

If you want to see a wizard at work in this domain (and a great 
example), look at what Peter Schild did for COMIS, in the 
'file' section of the COMIS discussion group 
( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/comis/files/ ).
