Importing and refreshing data from unorganized Excel

Hello!

 

Our work shifts are (for some historical reasons) made and maintained on Excel. During years the number of employees has expanded a lot and so the number of working slots. It is VERY frustrating to find your own shifts from an Excel sheet. Unfortunately this data in Excel is very unorganized and almost chaotic. 

Now I have an idea that I could somehow import that data to Filemaker so, that I would not have to manually go thru every cell. The original Excel is a shared document in Google Drive. I can download it locally and modify it freely. 

So, could it be done combining Filemaker script, maybe Apple script and Excel Visual Basic? I'm not very familiar with Apple script or Visual Basic.
