Importing Excel 2013 file into 2014 dwg

When I try to attach a 2013 Excel file into a 2014 drawing I get a message 'You have selected an unsupported DGN File.  Only V7 and V8 files are supported.'  Cannot attache through the Import command either.  I know in past versions you could insert the file and any changes made to the file appeared to the attachment in the drawing.

 

Is this no longer possible?  Surely not, it is way to handy.  What am I overlooking to make this happen?

 

Thanks in advance for any help out there.

How are you trying to attach the file?

 

Excel is supported through OLE.  Open the excel file, select the range, copyclip.  Open the AutoCAD drawing in AutoCAD (ACA) and then use pastespec and choose the paste link option.
