>I have to convert data from an Excel spreadsheet to a .DBF file.
>The problem is that the Excel file has no clear structure. For every "record" I need to convert there are more than one rows in the Excel file. But the number of rows is not the same for each "record". I need to "extract" from the Excel file only several cells, which are spread over several rows. Any suggestions to do it in a more of automatic/programmed way rather than manually rearrange the Excel file?

You could import XLS in temporary DBF and then with loop through this DBF to add records in your table. Other way is to use automation to do the same but w/o middle step with import in temporary DBF.
