Or you can just save the data as a delimited file via Excel save as
and feed the delimited file into a sqlldr task that contains the
reformatting functions as part of the load.

Then again you could potentially use an external table to mask the
file and process it via Oracle.

Charles method is good if you know Access.  If not, a little scripting
can automate the file transfer and load.

The best way to do this might depend on if this is going to be a
repeated process and if you want it to be customer driven or if it
needs to be a regular scheduled task.
