Ex­cel­tex – Get data from Ex­cel files into LaTeX

Ex­cel­tex is a LaTeX pack­age com­bined with a helper pro­gram writ­ten in Perl. It pro­vides an easy to use yet pow­er­full and flex­i­ble way to get data from Spread­sheets into LaTeX.
In con­trast to other so­lu­tions, ex­cel­tex does not seek to make the cre­ation of ta­bles in LaTeX eas­ier, but to get data from Spread­sheets into LaTeX as eas­ily as pos­si­ble.
The Ex­cel (TM) file for­mat only acts as an in­ter­face be­tween the spread­sheet ap­pli­ca­tion and ex­cel­tex bea­cause it is eas­ily ac­ces­si­ble (via the Spread­sheet::ParseEx­cel Perl mod­ule) and be­cause most spread­sheet ap­pli­ca­tions are able to read and write Ex­cel files.
