Surely there is. Use PostgreSQL ODBC driver for this. Install the
driver, use it as a data source for Excel and make Excel connect to your
database via ODBC.

Another solution is to create table(s) in the database first, then save
your Excel file in csv format, then export this to your database using
COPY (or using pgadmin ;) ).

<propaganda> BTW, I don't have MS Excel around, and I'm not sure that it
can save the data in CSV format -- if not, it is another good reason to
switch to OpenOffice.org .</propaganda>
