importing data from excel

[TEXLID_SUPPORT]

Hi,

Could anyone please let me know how I can transfer data from excel to a mysql 
database? If it is possible. The data is stored in an excel file on my PC. And I want 
to transfer the contents (about 500 records with 20 fields)  of this excel file to a 
mysql table on a remote linux server. 

Thanks in advance for any possible help.

Edd.
