There's your answer. You need to open it in Excel and resave it.

Can you confirm that your Excel file is closed before you try to import it?

Yeah Thanks! It's just to simple isn't it? Would have wished it will work with other programs too. Will check out other options then. Thanks for your help @BobLevine & @Eric Dumas

Is it really an Excel file? Or, was it created by another application and saved as an Excel file?

Is it closed? Is it XLS or XLSX?
