Two approaches -

1) Use VBA  programming in excel (i.e., write a macro)  that walks through the
data and outputs xml.

2) save the spreadsheet as a comma- or tab-delimited file, then write a simple
script to convert it.  This is not hard.  Suitable languages are Python, Perl,
and Awk.

The above assumes that you want to convert one particular spreadsheet layout.
A general approach would take more work, but probably not much.
