Is the excel format 2007+? You are going to need to look into automation by using Excel interop:

or

use openxml

and then write the data out using something like:

either way, you are going to need some sort of dll / tool I cant think of a way not too accurately. These are excellent tools and either open source or free. Why waste time doing something when it is already done?
