R - I suppose you're asking about the feasibility of creating a report for you data stored on a MySql database. The answer is yes you can create such reports with JasperReports.

whether we can use excel as a datasource for jasper and ireport?

R - As far as I know, this can't be done out of the box. But you can write a java class that knows how to read your excell files and implements net.sf.jasperreports.engine .JRDataSource, and this will do the job.
