No, except if you export it from Excel as an XML, which may be a bit complicated.

Step 1: uninstall BrickStock (the one that is littered with bugs & half finished
features)
Step 2: install BrickStore (the one that is now being actively supported and
developed)
Step 3: never look back

Anyway, in relation to your actual question, I'm fairly certain it is possible
with some tinkering. From memory I think it probably involves changing headers
to match BrickStore format and exporting to CSV. Can't be certain but I think
I did it this way once (maybe).

Best of luck, let us know how you get on.

Thanks
Marc

Uh no, BrickStore doesn't import any CSV.
It could be exported as XML from Excel, but it's not trivial.

Thanks for the replies.
I am getting too old to learn new tricks.
