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.
