Is this a real Excel file or a file created in a different application saved as an Excel file? Is it an XLSX or XLS file?

It is XLS file. It was created from .xlsx, that way Indesign shows sheets and range excel.

That should have nothing to do with it. Use the XLSX file.

Go to InDesign Preferences, on the Mac, it is in the InDesign Menu, on Windows at the end of the Edit menu.

In the section File handling is an option to keep links for text and table files. Activate that.
