If you save the spreadsheet in SYLK format, you might have some luck
with READ_SYLK. The simpler the spreadsheet, the higher your chances of
success.

The alternative is to save your spreadsheet data in CSV (comma separated
value) format, and then read it in IDL as an ASCII data file.

Cheers,
Liam.
