hanson44,
Note that your file is a text file. It is not an excel spreadsheet!

Create a spreadsheet using excel with the values 1 to 100 in a table in the spreadsheet and then show me that this awk script will produce 10 output files with the values 51 through 60 in the 6th output file when given the .xls file produced by excel as its input.
