The only kind of "excel file" that you can use with load() is a .csv file. In order to use a .csv file with load(), it must be purely numeric with no headers, and with no text, and with no missing entries.
.xls and .xlsx files can never be used with load(). .csv files with missing entries or with any text anywhere cannot be used with load(). Also, .csv files that use comma as the decimal separator will not be interpreted correctly by load() if they manage to load at all.
