[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] External table is not in the expected format.

thanks in advance

Is your Excel worksheet set up correctly as a data table with acceptable data column headings without any spaces

FYI
- use of Excel as a DB is not recommended
- convert your Excel worksheet to an Access database
