Importing Excel tables
Table data often originates in a spreadsheet program such as Excel, and you can
import table data just as you import pictures. Although the technique is slightly
different, the results are the same: The table in QuarkXPress is linked to the
Excel file for tracking and updating.
You can import only .xlsx files in QuarkXPress. 
If you import a table from Excel using the Link to External Table option in the
Table Properties dialog box, table usage will be tracked just as picture usage is
tracked. This ensures that you’re notified if the source table changes, and that
you have the latest table data when you output the layout, whether you print,
collect for output, or save as a PDF. To check the status of a table, choose
Utilities > Usage, and then click the Tables tab.
You can also import a table from Excel using the Create Table from External
Source under the Table menu.
