    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Application xlApp = new Excel.Application();
        Excel.Workbook xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("YourPath", ReadOnly: true, Password: "PWD");

        Excel.Range xlRange = xlWorksheet.UsedRange;

        int rCnt;
        int rw = 0;
        int cl = 0;

        //get the total column count
        cl = xlRange.Columns.Count;

        List myRows = new List();
        for (rCnt = 1; rCnt <= 1; rCnt++)
        {
            if (rCnt % 6 == 1)
            {//get rows which ABC or XYZ is in

                for (int col = 2; col <= cl; col++)
                {//traverse columns (the first column is not included)

                    for (int rowABCD = rCnt; rowABCD <= rCnt + 5; rowABCD++)
                    {//traverse the following four rows after ABC row or XYZ row
                        MyRow myRow = new MyRow();
                        //get ABC or XYZ
                        myRow.Col1 = (string)(xlRange.Cells[rowABCD, 1] as Range).Value2.ToString();
                        // get the  value of current column  in ABC row or XYZ row
                        myRow.Col2 = (string)(xlRange.Cells[rowABCD, col] as Range).Value2.ToString();
                        // add the newly created myRow to the list
                        myRows.Add(myRow);
                    }

    public class MyRow
