    Please read the forum rules - double posting is not allowed. Your other post has been deleted.

    I also recommend defining where you are stuck (reading a file, writing excel?) as we have no clue where the problem truly resides. And last but not least - everyone's question is urgent to them. Stating your problem is urgent can be considered rude to everyone else here seeking help, and everyone trying to help them.

    If you are interested in reading/writing Excel Spreadsheets, you should do some research on the different external libraries that are available. If you spent enough time reading and understanding the text-design of Excel files, you could probably figure out how to read/write to them without using an external library, but just getting a good external libraries would be a thousand times less time consuming.
