I need to write a web application. The user will select the excel file from the open file dialog box. The application should be able to read the data from specific cells in excel file, and write them into mongodb.

Any ideas how to implement reading and writing?

Thank you!

You didn't say what programming language you're using on the web server where you'd need to parse the Excel files. I'd start with an Internet search for reading excel files in <language>. – WiredPrairie Mar 19 at 11:05
uh, right.. well, JS preferably, or php. I will edit the caption – Quest Mar 19 at 12:26

Although there is GridFS feature in MongoDB, which is used for storing and retrieving a file but cannot be used for the internally manipulating a file per se.

yeah, it's just for storing, especially large files – Quest Mar 19 at 10:27
