The two primary ways of reading Excel files with Java are POI and JExcelApi. However, both are written for Java SE and use classes not found in the CLDC-based Java ME implementations such as Nokia phones.

These projects are open source, so you can always try to extract the code you need from them and/or port them to the more restricted CLDC/MIDP platform.

Alternatively, is there a way you can push the reading of the spreadsheets to the server instead? Have a servlet/JSP use POI/JExcelApi to parse the spreadsheet and return the information you need in a format your client application can parse.
