Dear experts,
I have a excel file sitting on my desktop. I essentially have to
import it into Mathematica and display the data in two columns (the
original data file also consists of two columns).
Any suggestions on how to do it ??

Praveen,

So you want to import an excel file? Did you consider looking up
Import in the documentation? Looking up XLS might prove useful as
well.

Grid[Import["filepath//filename.xls",{"Data",1}]]

On the Wolfram website you can find a tutorial video on exactly this
topic (importing Excel data files, spreadsheets, tables: *.xls). i
think they are called screencasts.
