I just went as far as seeing it wouldn't take .xlsx (2007+ default format). It does look like the rpmforge .57 version will accept the .xls format file, although I think it seems slower than loading excel and doing a 'save as' to get the csv. For numbers, cell->unformatted() would give a real number instead of having to yank the commas out of the csv or $cell->value() versions, but dates don't look like what sql wants either way.
