I think you need to provide better information.

Do you really mean "Parsing information IN an excel document"?
Is this in XLS format or exported as a delimited file?
Does the computer that will run the script have Excel installed?
Do you plan to use Excel COM?
What is the nature of the information you want to parse?
By "parse" do you really mean "extract"?
