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.
