Import from Excel to repeating fields?

Hi,

Is it possible to import a column of information from an Excel document to a repeating field in Filemaker? In other words, I have an Excel document with a column of text (contains about 30 rows of text). I want to transfer this info into a field in a new Filemaker database I've made, and this field is a repeating field with about 30 repititions. As I expected, when I use the import command and select the Excel column I want to transfer, Filemaker creates 30 new records, whereas I wanted the 30 rows of information to appear in one record, in the repeating field's repititions. But is there perhaps an option that would allow what I want to occur when importing from Excel? I know that Filemaker can import repeating field data from another Filemaker document with a repeating field.

Thanks.
