A new package has just been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror.
Thanks again, Jim Hefferon
======================================================================
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: exceltex Author's name: Hans-Peter Doerr Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/exceltex Summary description: accessing Excel files from LaTeX License type: gpl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Exceltex is a small LaTeX package combined with a helper program written in Perl, which makes it easy to include tabulars and cells from Excel files in LaTeX documents.
Exceltex' intention is it to provide a do it once and forget solution for accessing data from spreadsheet files. You don't need to sync data in LaTeX with the Spreadsheet anymore (or even copy each cell by hand - uhhhh), except that you have to press the save button of your spreadsheet application before running exceltex :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
