I have not yet seen any way to use files in .xlsx format in AI2.
The usual way this is done for offline use is to export the completed xlsx data in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format, and upload that to the Media folder in AI2 for access via a //filename.csv read-only Media file.

If your data changes frequently or is larger that will fit in AI2 Media files, see
