Accessing Excel Data in Javascript using SDK

Does anybody know how to access specific cell data from Excel sheets in javascript?  I'm using the preview method to get a fileBlob back to preview but is there a way to grab specific data from specific cells in Javascript?

  • No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to access only specific cell data from an Excel file like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
