Populating Combo Box from the excel sheet

[Jess 1]

Hi

I am trying on a script where in I have GUI with 3-4 combos and If i select a value from one combo, the other combo boxes should be filled according to the value selected in combo box1 referring to the excel sheet. In the excel sheet the column 1 is what the combo 1 is populated with. Here is a structure of my excel sheet. 

If anyone can help me in this.

App       En        S           c
App1    en1        s1        c1
App1    en2        s1        c2
App2    en3        s2        c4    
App2    en3        s1        c3
App3    en1        s1        c7

 

Thank You
