Extracting data from an excel sheet

Hi,

I have a interesting thing to know and discuss with you.

I am extracting data from an Excel file in a Delphi DbGrid through SQL. I want to create a criteria on a specific cell value of the excel file. I want to retrieve a record if the value of a particular column in excel say D4 is < 0 where D is the column and D4 the cell value. If this condition is met then we display that record in the Delphi DBGrid.

Is this possible through a SQL?

The sql I wrote gave me multiple records as I used the fieldname for checking.
I wrote Select * from "Sheet1$" where "Sheet1$".<column name> <0.

Please help.

Regards,
Sunil
