There's better solutions than Excel - ideally you want something that
understands the data and helps with the input (verifying that callsigns are
valid,etc.)
Also, having something that auto-fills is good. If you log one QSO on 20m
CW, it's helpful in a lot of cases if the software just assumes that for
the next QSO.
Fast Log Entry - http://www.df3cb.com/fle/ - is often mentioned as one way
to quickly enter logs.

If you're going to use Excel, have a look at Jim's site -

from a spreadsheet.
