FASTGETGRID extracts values and formuals form all worksheets in a Microsoft Office Spreadsheet Object (OWC). It also provides the numerical and the string variables seperately

USAGE:

>> h = actxcontrol('OWC11.Spreadsheet.11',[0 0 550 420]);
>> FastFillGrid(h, ...
{'Maturity' ,'4/15/09','' ; ...
'coupon' ,8.63 ,'ANN' ; ...
'redemption' ,100 ,'' ; ...
'Yield' ,10.1660 ,'' ; ...
'' ,'' ,'' ; ...
'dirty price' ,97.2088 ,'' ; ...
'accrued interest',6.2088 ,'' ; ...
'clean price' ,91.0000 ,'' });
>> A = FastGetGrid(h)
A =
Sheet1: [1x1 struct]
Sheet2: [1x1 struct]
Sheet3: [1x1 struct]

>> % LOOK AT SHEET 1
>> A.Sheet1
ans =
Formula: {8x3 cell}
Value: {8x3 cell}
String: {8x3 cell}
Number: {8x3 cell}

>> % LOOK AT THE FORMULAS IN SHEET 1
>> A.Sheet1.Formula

'clean price' '91' [NaN]

>> % LOOK AT ALL OF THE VALUES IN SHEET 1
