This looks like a very simple Excel file. Why not save it as a CSV and then you'll have plain text which you can read and parse easily from JavaScript.
Or better yet, express it as JSON and then you won't have to parse anything.

Hi Janaka
If it is concerning the content of the file, you could do a transformation to txt. (similar to this Applying rules to folders | Alfresco Documentation).
But you need to give us a bit more info about what you are trying to do here.

You can use Apache POI API to read/write to excel files. Take a look at Apache POI – Reading and Writing Excel file in Java for reference.
Hope this helps.

Hi @jpotts
How do you express the Excel as a JSON OR
Read and parse the plaintext from JS. I am trying to do this in the Alfresco Activiti(Model Application) script task

Client side (Browser) or Server side (repository backend) JavaScript?
If serverside, please write a JavaScript rootobject to wrap the poi library. Take a Look at the alfresco-jscript-extensions in github...
If Client side, there are some JS libraries which can read the Excel File in the Browser...
Thanks
Jens
