How can I more accurately import excel tables using AC Entities + datalink?

I'm trying to import an excel table into AC as an AC entity with a datalink so I can update the excel file. However the AC entities import looks like a disaster! (see picture)

How can I import it in a way that will more accurately maintain more of the formatting of Excel? I'd rather not use the MS spreadsheet import because then it looks distractingly unnatural...

I imagine there isn't really a solid answer for what I'm trying to do, just looking for some tips and tricks to make it slip in a bit better

Some users find they have better results inserting spreadsheets as OLE objects via the Paste Special command. You could always start a new drawing and test it for yourself.
