I just had a similar issue recently. I saved my excel files to csv format, and then I downloaded the code described in this link:

http://blog.danilocampos.com/2009/12/04/convert-a-csv-into-a-plist-file/

which is for a mac app that converts csv files to plist files. I had to edit the

- (IBAction)executeConversion:(id)sender

method in AppController.m to get the plist in the format I wanted, but it was straightforward. It may not be the best solution, but it was the best I could find.
