Per Daniel Paulsen at sap.com:

"support for Office 2007 file formats as datasources was added in an early service pack for CR XIR2. details can be found at:

FYI -- I downloaded from Daniel's suggested webside and, even though I use MS Office 2010, it enabled me to work with xlsx files using OLE DB (ADO) quite easily.

Try it and see if it will work for you.

Create a new connection

Select OLE DB (ADO)

Select the Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine... Provider

Change the Office Database type to Excel

Select the data source.

Leave userId Password etc as is.

 

That should work, I have not used in the past, but did a quick test and seems to be working of for me.


How timely. I was just working out this same issue. I tried this connection method and it worked.
