[...] Open excel files in GNUmeric then copy 'n paste selected cells into a LyX tabular. The LyX tabular needs to have enough rows and colls. Due to my experience there is no need to use csv files. Importing excel files directly to GNUmeric 1.2.0 will give the chance to keep excel functions working even in GNUmeric.
