Hi Richard,
The excel file should be an standard CSV, the only requisite is that you include a summary field, and the issue key if you want to make an update.
Example
summary,reporter,assignee,description,priority Test,admin,admin,Description,Medium
You can choose at the import form, the csv separator, date format and encoding.
if you have a list of field to import we can try making a template.
