- Use Excel’s PowerQuery. Google it, there’s a lot of tutorials already.

The instructions are right assuming all the software is in the same architecture (Excel and SSMS both are 32 or 64 bit).
If Excel is 64 (which is now default for many) and SSMS (or rather the “import export wizard” part of it) is 32 (you cannot download and install the mentioned IEW in 64 bit, it’s only available when you set up the SQL server as part of the package) then you will be greeted with a message saying wizard cannot read the Excel file. You have to save the Excel file as 97-2000 compatibility first.
