From Help Answer Wizard "import data"
Import a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or chart
In the Import Data Options dialog box, select the sheet you want to import.
You can import only one sheet.
Do one of the following:
To import all the data on the worksheet, click Entire sheet under Import.
To import part of the data, click Range, and then type the range of data you
want. For example, to import cells A1 through B5, type A1:B5 in the Range box.
If the range is named, you can type the name instead of the range reference.
If you selected a cell earlier in the procedure, clear the Overwrite existing
cells check box.
