Sure, it's very much possible. However, you need to post exactly what 
steps you've taken, and where exactly you're facing the problem, in 
order for the community to help you in any way :)

Look at the spreadsheet gem for reading excel files.

Hi

you might want to have a look at my datashift gem
(https://github.com/autotelik/datashift)

it provides import/export facilites between Excel and active record and
also provides facilities for paperclip attachments

For example given a User model with photo attachment, you can provide a
path to the image in a column and the importer will create a paperclip 
image
and attach to the parent User model

even if it doesn't exactly fit your needs you should be able to extract
code to get you going. plenty of examples in the specs.

hope that helps

cheers
