CELLS - select specific rows based on the content of cell?

We are trying to replace OLEDB with aspose API, so far so good; most of the stuff could be converted however I did not find a solution for the following:
It is a littel function that reads an excel file with some 10000 lines, but I am interested only in a few row based on the content of the lspecific cell
something like that:
Select * from wb where [blockid] = ‘ABCD’ where blockid is a column in the file; this was easy to be done with oledb by creating a oledbcommand.
ie
Dim oconn As New OleDbCommand(sqlcmd, cnn)
Dim adp As New OleDbDataAdapter(oconn)
Dim dt As New System.Data.DataTable()
Try
cnn.Open()
adp.Fill(dt)
oconn.Dispose()
cnn.Dispose()
cnn.Close()
Return dt
Is something similiar possible with aspose.cells?
Thanks
Christian
