Use XML Import feature. Look at documents how to convert excel to acceptable xml format.
It's difficult to add TC directly as we hold TC versions and more. This needs deep knowledge.

The most of user has own specific format. How should we know, what is your format? The common practice expect that you parse your data via tool you know onto xml format.
There is amount of tools that helps you ... search internet. The fastest way is to use some that is already used in your company. I personally have not experience with the interface. Hopefully some users or other developers can help if you have more specific question.
