And besided, are you sure you're on the right forum (this is all about Oracle, not Excel)?

There's, actually, nothing "very, very complex" in this assignment.

Save Excel file as a CSV file and use it as an external table (or load into Oracle database using SQL*Loader). Once data is in an Oracle table, query is really a simple one; for example
-- quantity in November

SELECT quantitry 
FROM this_table
WHERE to_char(month_column, 'mm') = '11';
