Very Simple - 

Save your file as .csv rather than excel.

Then to to AmiBroker>File>Import Wizard and follow the steps.

Suggest flipping the Ticker and Date columns so Ticker is first - and be sure that you pick the correct date format - and check the box to ignore 1 row so it doesn't try to load the headers as a quote.

At most a few minutes.

Good luck.
