Save the excel file as a CSV text file, then use LOAD DATA INFILE
command to import. See the mysql manual for usage and example.

Sure, it's usually fairly straightforward to transfer data. You can
export to a CSV or other delimited file, then use MySQL's LOAD DATA
INFILE command to read it in. See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html
I haven't ever tried creating tables from something in Excel
If you have the Max Binaries of MySQL, do the following:
1) Export Excel Data to a CSV file (mydata.csv)
2) Goto MySQL and create table, without indexes to
accept the data (CREATE TABLE myImportCSV)
3) Change the table layout to accept CSV
i.e., ALTER TABLE myImport ENGINE = CSV;
Please note that
I do it all of the time, and once you get the hang of it this is quite easy.
The simple-minded way is to generate one SQL statement per row of the
original spreadsheet (assuming that each row of the spreadsheet corresponds
to a row in the data base table).
1. Create a new worksheet, if
As usual, Dan's suggestion is better than mine, especially for large amounts
of data (I usually work with perhaps 100 rows, at most). When you save a
spreadsheet as a text file, the columns will be delimited by tabs by
default.
Also, if you go with my suggestion you should probably surround any

Ziggy,
I'm not sure what you need help with.
If you want to get data into MySQL from Excel, consider saving the data (I
assume it is a table) as a CSV then using the LOAD DATA command to bring the
data into a temporary table in MySQL. Take a look at the command in the help
pages.

From Excel, save the file as a CSV (comma separated values) use either
mysql load data infile in an insert query or use phpmyadmin to import the

How do i import MS Excel Data into MySQL Tables??
One way: save it as a tab-delimited file, then import it
with mysqlimport.
If you don't want to mess around pointing and clicking to save
an Excel file as a tab-delimited file, try using this Perl
