Hi,

I have to load and read the content of a Excel sheet into a datagrid. I am using AIR to load the FileStream, but when I display that stream, it gives me some junk character. Can anyone please help me parsing the Rows/Columns of the excel spreadsheet as ArrayCollection?

What is the data format of the excel sheet?

thanks in advance…
