title: Connecte Excel file to Cplex
body: <p>I'm to solve an optimization problem using Cplex.</p>
  
  <p>In my file.dat I use <code>SheetConnection my_sheet("ExcelFile.xls")</code> to link Excel file to my cplex program, and after that I use <code>SheetRead()</code> to read data from Excel file.</p>
  
  <p>But after I run my configuration I've got the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"sheet data not supported on this platform"
  "Processing failed"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I found that reading excel spreadsheet on ILOG CPLEX optimization studio is not supported on Linux</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas please?</p>
