That requires some other work to make that connection.

When I get time, I will run a test on my localhost MySQL at home. My work day will be long tomorrow so it may be two days before I get back to this. I work with 64 bit at home so I may have to play with the connection string.

When learning a method, try to keep it simple. Try working with the Sakila database and the Actor table. Make a short 2 or 3 rows in Excel to insert into Actor.

If you installed the workbench, maybe you installed MySQL for Excel? It is in the Data ribbon when installed. Manually using it appends Excel data to your MySQL quickly.
