    Excel is not a OOTB defined point file format. you need to export to an ASCII file of the appropriate format. If I understan correctly.

    Pick the ENZ (comma delimited) when you go to load in points.

     

    And load in this file..

     

    I set it up as a E N Z, .csv file

    oh, and you must have run this through geographic calculator as all your numbers are text - convert your text to numbers first.
