You will probably have to write some sort of custom reader for your
data. This can be just a simple stand-alone program that converts your
data into the .pvd file or you can make the reader a ParaView plugin
so that ParaView can open your data file(s).
The first thing you will probably want to do is export the data from
excel into a CSV file for easier reading.
Next you can write the code for your reader. If you can give some more
information about what exactly the data in the xls files represents
the community may be able to guide you further. For example is the
data xyz coordinates for a triangular mesh? Is it voxel data? Is it
image data?
There are lots of examples for all of those around the net and from
various folks on the list (including myself).

Hi everybody!
I am also new to this forum and new to paraview and python coding.
I am currently looking to create an animation of shallow water waves
using paraview, but I am having some trouble uploading my data files.
At this stage, my data files are in excel files (.xls) and I am just
wondering how I should go about converting them to paraview data
files (.pvd) or the like, so that I may create an animation.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jamie.
