get data from excel and find max/min

[Timmy94]

Hi,

Would it work to build a program were the user could take 30.000 different values (digits) from an excel file and enter it to a program to find the biggest and smallest value of this?
Where i work, i download data to an excel file were i need to find of some data is to high or to low but when there are 20 columbs times 30.000 rows of data i thought that i could maybe have a goal to make my own program were i just can copy or get data from each columb from excel and find the max and min value of this.

Is this a reasonable goal?

Thanks

that is a simple basic python operation.
Is this homework?
