uploading data in excel

Hi,

There is some problem when i upload (import) data for my application in excel...since there are few fields which are kept blank in the starting (they are updated later).

The confusion happens i guess with the multi line field....the space between words goes into the next (empty) field and considers it an error (because of the format of the next field is different).....but if i convert that excel file into a csv file then all is fine (I guess because of the comma's there is no confusion within the fields).....

Can't we upload a excel file directly (instead of pasting it on a blank page or maybe we get a spreadsheet where we can paste the contents in case of an excel file)
