I'm looking to plot an excel workbook on LaTeX using pgfplots. The link to the workbook is: https://www.mediafire.com/?35z48u7pu5bd3vy I want to plot 2 adjacent columns at the same time. Hence in total 5 plots on the same graph.
I tried to work with \begin{filename} but it didn't work. I'm new to LaTeX and any kind of help would be appreciated?

    Hi, welcome! I don't know if pgfplots can read Excel files, but if you save it as a .csv file it shouldn't be a problem, you'd just need to something like \addplot table[x=xcolumnname,y=ycolumnname] {filename.csv}; – Torbjørn T. Dec 14 '16 at 11:43
  • Maybe one can use the odsfile package to parse the table if you save the excel file as in ods format, but that would be only half of the job since you have to pipe this to pgfplots.... – student Dec 14 '16 at 12:53
  • Welcome! PGFplots, alone, cannot handle .xls files, (.csv and .dat are ok). Alternatively you can use the suggestions in this question to Import the .xls files into Latex, and then figure out a way to handle this to PGFplots (perhaps another question here, but more specific then). – Guilherme Zanotelli Dec 14 '16 at 13:29
  • Did one of the above tips help you to solve your problem or do you need further assistance? – Stefan Pinnow Mar 11 '17 at 14:56
