How do I read an excel file and put it into an array?
<p>So I am working on a school project where I have to read an excel file into an array, and then use that data and manipulate and give answers to the user. I can not even figure out how to set a file to equal an array, and then from there get specific bits of data from it. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the actual question prompt:</p>

<p>Design a Java application that will read a file containing data related to the US.
Crime statistics from 1994-2013. The description of the file is shown below. The application
should provide statistical results on the data.
Use arrays and Java classes to store the data. (Hint: You can and should create a
USCrimeClass to store the fields. You can also have an Array of US Crime Objects.)</p>
