    Hi , Create a process where user can upload the excel file, once file is uploaded , get the doc id of excel file. Now you would need to write an expression rule with the help of the functions(

    readexcelsheetpaging()
    excelreadcellsbyname()
    excelreadcellsbynumber()

    which Mathieu has already mentioned from excel tool plugin. you can pass the excel doc id into these functions and based on your requirement you can validate the data. I hope it helps.
