The new capabilities in 1.6 will be very nice, but meanwhile ...

1. Install PDFCreator (it's a GPL opensource package).

2. Print your Excel spreadsheet to PDF using PDFCreator as the printer.

3. Include the PDF page in your LyX document.

I haven't done this with Excel, but I have done it with other programs,
and it works very nicely, especially if you take the trouble to format
your output to fill a single page nicely.
