CSV = comma separated values

In excel,you should be able to save the file in a CSV format. Once you have that, prepare SqlLoader controlfile that interprets this ascii text file to match up with the table structure in the Oracle database.
Then you should be able to run sqlldr that loads your data into the tables using the controlfile....
