Hi Sheri, If the data is already in Excel, and assuming they're not too complicated, you can ask your users to export them in CSV format (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) and upload the result to the website.
Google uses this method in their "GMail for your domain" product, in order to allow admins to upload a spreadsheet with a list of user accounts that need to be created in one go. Several web apps also export data in CSV, which can be readily imported into Excel (again, if your data format is simple enough). I think you can easily paste an online table into Excel, but I haven't seen any online table editor on which you can paste something from Excel. Hope this helps!
