Importing .xlsx into InDesign

Help!

I'm designing a quote template document for a client - in which they'd like an editable table that can add up their inputted data (once exported as a pdf). I'm not exactly sure how to pull this off - but thought I'd start by importing/placing an excel/numbers table as a starting point. No matter what I do, what preferences are clicked - every time I try to place any .xlsx file - InDesign says: "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation." I've tried different formats from numbers, to excel, to downloaded sheets from google docs - no luck. I've checked the "create links when placing text and spreadsheet files" box under Preferences > File Handling, too. My mac software and adobe software is all up-to-date. 

Any help/advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you!
