title: How to read excel into Julia?
body: <p>I need to read an excel file into Julia. I tried the package "ExcelReaders". However, the package requires additionally the Python or the xlrd package. Although it uses the conda.jl package to install these dependencies automatically, I keep on running into different installation problems. Is there a simple way to read excel into Julia? Has anyone tried the Taro.jl package? </p>
