Hi,

I need to read in some data from an excel file. After spending a while  
looking around, POI for ruby looks like the best solution. However, it  
misses support documents for newBs like me. I wonder if anyone here  
has done that before and wants to share a little bit of the  
information. Please help.

Thanks,  
DC
