To beginners I often suggest to try Rcmdr, which is a graphical
interface to R that smooths the transition to R. In your specific case
I would export the data from Excel to a .csv file, and then import it
using the "Data > Import data > from text file" menu in Rcmdr.
Afterwards, you can manipulate the data either using the command line
or Rcmdr's statistical menus.
