1. Create DSN for your XL file by picking Microsoft Excel Driver
2. Take ODBC as source stage
3. Configure ODBC with DSN details
4. While importing metadata for XL sheet, make sure you should select on system tables check box.
Note: In XL sheet the first line should be column names.

If the problem is only commas in XL file data.. We can open it in Access and save the file with Pipe (|) separator... than can be used as simple sequential file but change the dilimiter to (|).. in the format tab .
