Default Rotating excel spreadsheet for use in photoshop/ using diamond cel

One method might be to use Photoshop to create a graphic with the diamond
grid and then use that graphic to simulate a watermark in Excel. Use Excel
Help and search for "watermark" or "insert watermark" for instructions on how
to do it. You could also turn off displaying/printing gridlines for a
cleaner output. It will probably take some trial and error to get the
graphic to the right dimensions and adjust column heights/widths to align
things within the diamonds.

Greetings, All

I'm trying to get the basic spreadsheet that has square cells that looks
like this
http://www.onewithall.net/rodin/excel_squares.jpg
to look like this with diamond cells that looks like this
http://www.onewithall.net/rodin/excel_diamonds.jpg


Can Excel do this?
I know I can type them in manually in photoshop but I need to input 100's
of numbers. If excel can't do this can someone recommend another program
or suggests a better way of doing it if they have one.

Thanks
sal2

PS: What I'm trying to do.
I'm trying import an image of excel numbers (which will be 100s)
into Photoshop to map an object.
