have you named the range in excel?

Kathy,
Yes, it's a real problem.   I finally got it done but I don't know how I did
it so, unfortunately I can't help.

You will get typical answers like what Gordon sent.  Maybe he knows what
that means, but I don't.
Good luck getting an answer that says 1st do this, 2nd do this, etc., i.e.
rote instructions that work.  This is one of the most obtuse,
user-unfriendly things I've tried in 10 years of computing.  The people who
know the answer seem to be hiding it with unhelpful, non-detailed responses.
I don't know why.

Good luck.

From the Excel 2007 Help topic "Use Names to Clarify Formulas," topic ID HV10147120 (I don't know if the IDs are the same in German as in English, but you can do a quick search in Help to find out), here's how to add a name to a range of selected cells:

1. Select the cell, range of cells, or nonadjacent selections that you want to name.
2. Click the Name box at the left end of the formula bar.
3. Type the name you want to use to refer to your selection. Names can be up to 255 characters in length.
4. Press Enter.

Save the worksheet as an .xls file to import into Outlook.

Or, skip naming the range and save the worksheet as a comma-delimited text (.csv) file, then use that file for the import.
