You can use either an Excel or SQL Server reference in-line on an Excel or SQl Server connection, for example:

SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 INTO 
[ODBC;Description=TEST;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=Some\Instance;Trusted_Connection=Yes;DATABASE=test].TableZ  FROM [Sheet1$]"

You will probably need to enable ad hoc queries on SQL Server and if you are using ACE there may be some other considerations:

SELECT * INTO newx
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
    'Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;Database=c:\docs\testdata.xls',
    'SELECT * FROM [Sheet2$]');

I cretaed a package using SSIS. This is a good solutions and from code I send parameters to Package (Package.dtsx)
