Hi All, Have an excel file I am trying parse but not being good with the parse spread sheet module is not acting as expected. Instead I want to convert to txt and then parse.

data:
ABCC    
       BRL    
 Opening Balance "85,604.65"   
 Closing Balance "85,604.65"   
       EUR    
 Opening Balance 0.19   
 Closing Balance 0.19   
       GBP    
 Opening Balance 0.04   
 Closing Balance 0.04   
 Calc Balance 453,000
ABCC is name
BRL is currency
[download]

what I want is to get the name,Currency and then closing amount. Unless there is a calc balance associated with the currency then I want that.

so ouput would look like this:

ABCC,BRL,"85,604.65"
ABCC,EUR,0.19
ABCC,GBP,453,000 <--calbal.

If I can be pointed in the right direction I would be deeply indebted 
+to ya's

Thanks
