insert block by reading spreadsheet

I need to insert a block multiple times by reading the x and y coordinates from a spreadsheet.

the spreadsheet will be

c:\my documents\survey\abc engineering\test.xls

sheet; green street

column b7 - aa7 = x coordinate

column b8 - aa8 = y coordinate

insert block survey peg 1.dwg

This may be too much for lisp. However if you write it in VB, I'll probably hit you with many questions as I don't know how to load, run, or set a path for VB.

This might help...
