How to open Excel sheet with full access in c#?

how can I access the formula in an excel sheet with c#?

I am parsing thorugh a 2000+ record excel file, and need ot be able to grab the formula itself from the cells and not just the value. For example, one cell 'Contributions' may be a single number like 1500 or it can be a few numbers 1500+500-200 but I dont want the total, I want the actual formula so I can get the different numbers. I was just parsing with an oledbconnection and that only seems to get me the total. How would I go about getting the formula? Is it possible (I can get it in either XLS or XLSX)? Thank you.
Answer:

Using OLE Automation, you can access the formula in a cell as follows: formula = worksheet.Cells(1, 1).Formula EDIT: To use OLE Automation in your C# project, see the following http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302084:

The xslx is an xml file so it should be easy enough to read. Alternatively you can use third-part components like the one from http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/winforms/infragisticsexcel.aspx that allows you to read xsl-files programmatically and also to access the formulas.
