Just run Excel and look at all the different choices for exporting
data. With simple numbers, Comma Separated Values is simple, but
it gets a little nastier with text, especially text with commas and
quotes. Or you can read the data by using an Ada database binding
and using the Excel data as a database source. There's also SYLK
files, which are text and contain the formulas and formats as well
as the data.
