In my opinion, thats impossible,!
Unless you have another program that recognize Excel file format
like Excel Viewer, or you can create your own program to read excel file
without install Excel application on your computer.!

Create using VB6.0, C++ or other program builder.

Just some info:

The free viewer (no changes allowed) from Microsoft:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/officeupdate/CD011347961033.aspx

and the older version if you can't run the one above:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/excel2000/Xlviewer/2000/WIN98/EN-US/xlVie
wer.exe

(One line in your browser)

or...

Maybe a free spreadsheet program would work:
http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD

or...

Google Docs offers a free online spreadsheet program (and a word processing
program) that may be able to open your file.
