Seems the excel import is version and/or platform dependent: In dev under
linux mint, it doesn't work at all. Drag and drop produces "blabla.xls is
not a valid or recognized data source" and through the normal vector
adding dialog, there is no way to make the xls visible and selectable.
csvt-files are quite annoying as well. I think "old" excel-versions -> dbf
or openoffice/libreoffice -> dbf are still the easiest ways to produce
joinable tables ... unfortunately.
Maybe the string problem can be solved with mmqgis-plugin-> modify -> Text
to Float (no fitting test data at hand)
