Hi Scott,

At present the answer is no.  Excel spreadsheet files are extremely complex.

I suggest you save as a text file, or comma delimited file, and import that 
into DBT.  You'll still have quite a bit of work to tidy it up though.

I have to add that some spreadsheets are all but impossible to handle in 
Braille without major re-working.
