This has nothing to do with LaTeX.  It depends on the graphics file
format you export the excel files to.

Preferred file formats are PostScript and PDF.  Don't know whether
they are supported by M$, but maybe you can export to wmf (Windows
Meta File) and probably this is supported by ImageMagick, see

   http://www.imagemagick.org

for more information.

You would certainly get better output if you omit excel and use
gnuplot instead.  See:

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
