In Excel, select Save as from the File menu and save your spreadsheet as a CSV (Comma Delimited) file. It will ask you
about some compatibility issues (i.e. it could not save multiple sheets). After this, you can import this CSV file in Comsol.

I have also included the CSV converted file.

Kind regards,
