You might want to take a look at ExcelTable SQL interface (Disclaimer : I'm the author).
It provides access to .xlsx (or .xlsm) files as an external table.

Here's an example based on your ext table definition :

SELECT t.* 
FROM TABLE(
       ExcelTable.getRows(
         ExcelTable.getFile('SEPA_FILES','Data_File.xlsx')
       , 'Sheet_name_goes_here'      
       , ' "UNIQUE_ID" for ordinality
         , "NAME"      varchar2(255)
         , "ALT_NAME"  varchar2(255) '
       , 'A2'
       )
     ) t ;

(I assumed UNIQUE_ID is some kind of autogenerated sequence)
