So far as I'm aware, there's no way of importing directly from excel. You would first have to convert the excel file to something else like gnumeric or opendocument format.

This Nina who asked on the mailing list https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-users/2022-03/msg00031.html <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-users/2022-03/msg00031.html> how to import from Excel mentioned that it would be nice to have a description for this in the manual. I wanted to propose her that she could make such a manual which would currently mean to write the texi code which would require to have a build system running to see the rendered pages. Automagic screenshots would be even more advanced. Did you ever propose users just to make some kind of handcrafted tutorial or documentation, provide it in pdf under some CC license and we would publish it on the gnu website? Cheers Fritz
