For color, package "colortbl" is needed (put \usepackage{colortbl} in preamble)

          then in Visual Basic: File->File import

          now you should have a new button "LaTeX export" in your "LaTeX" toolbar

One note to the license and distribution:
It is not forbidden to distribute xl2latex as an Excel file (.xls), but be 
aware that it is a danger to open foreign files with macros inside, they can
potentially contain viruses. And I will never distribute it in an other form
than plain basic (.bas).

Download the contents of this package in one zip archive (10.5k).
