Excel2GIFT v1.2 has been released ...
Has it really been 16 years since I originally posted my tool?
Here is link to the original thread: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=66660
I have a very minor update which adds the ability to specify the $CATEGORY where you want the questions imported.
It does require manual edit of the exported GIFT file before import, but does work if specified.
If you open up your GIFT file you export from Excel, you will see these lines:
// CATEGORY - To specify a CATEGORY for imported questions, uncomment $CATEGORY line below, and change the 'Imported-Questions' to whatever category name you want.
// I recommend you change it to the name of the specific quiz you are importing for, so you can find questions easier and re-use them later.
// If you are unsure what to put on this category line, then create a sample question in your quiz, and then export it in GIFT format, and then check the exported file and copy and paste the $CATEGORY line.
// $CATEGORY: $course$/top/Imported-Questions
You would uncomment the $CATEGORY line
Excel2GIFTv1.2.zip should be attached to this post below.
