This is a very complex format that would really require the Excel app to work with. You do have options. Save the data as a tab delimited text file and read it directly in Rev. Open the workbook xls file in Excel and communicate with Excel to send/retrieve cell values/update formulas, etc. The communicate with Excel is done via VB on Windows and Applescript on Mac. Ken has a great starting point on his site and Microsoft has very good PDF documentation of the object model and use on their web site. Let me know if you want a few primitive examples of Mac stuff, since I use it for one of my projects.
