Tags should be recognized, if you activate embedded content this way:

This must be activated in the corresponding project template BEFORE importing the Excel file. Doing this afterwards will change nothing.

Entities will not be recognized in Excel. You can protect these as tags, adding &[^;]*?; as tag definition rule for a placeholder.

It sounds as though you have activated this in the wrong filetype altogether because there is no possibility to convert entities automatically using the Excel filetype embedded content feature.  It's very basic and you either handle the entities as text or create placeholders for them, or (depending on the size and formatting of your file) use a decent text editor that can automatically do this conversion for you in the source file before you translate.
