Sure. DXKeeper may be good enough for slow VHF contest activity, but 
N1MM Plus is far better with things are popping (i.e., when the band is 
open for double-hop and you've got to finish the Q fast and move on to 
the next station). N1MM Plus does nothing for QSL or awards, so you want 
DXKeeper for that. See earlier posts in this thread for that.

The bad news is that it could be difficult to export your Excel data to 
any ham logging program, but it's worth poking around the internet for 
someone who has done it.

BTW -- Cabrillo logs have been the standard for contests for many years. 
While some contests still accept other formats or paper logs, the trend 
is to reject them because  volunteers have gotten tired of doing what 
the submitter didn't want to do -- enter it by hand, one QSO at a time, 
into Cabrillo. :)
