You can use OLEDB to connect to your spreadsheet and fill a DataSet or
DataTable then use the DataSet or DataTable as the DataSource for a DataGrid
control.

Alternatively, you could create a Web Custom Control with appropriate nested
loops to extract your data regardless of how many columns there are.

Do you have some samples of what you are doing now?

I know this isn't much, but you haven't given us much to work with on what
you are doing up to now.
