Arman,
For a quick and dirty transfer, if you have data on your spreadsheet in columns, I have been able to copy and paste from the spreadsheet columns into the Octave editor, without problems from OpenOffice, I would assume Excel would not cause any problems with this method. it makes for an ugly script file, as some of my data streams have over 600 entries. So I quickly change them, and store them as matrices and delete the original, rather long and ugly, data stream and script. I place a "x=[ at the top", or (x and y for two data variables) and a "];" at the end, then another line the converts it to a matrix and saves it, this way:
save stockdat.mat x y;
and then once the matrix is named and saved, delete the file that created it...
Hope that is helpful...
