SQL UPDATE statement in MS Excel

Question

Hi All,
I have a request to perform a column update in ap_invoices_all table. There are around 1000 rows to be updated. The input is in the form of MS Excel.
Can somebody suggest how to make an update statement using MS Excel.
My query using excel should look like below:
UPDATE AP_INVOICES_ALL
SET description = '',
last_update_date = ,
last_updated_by =
WHERE org_id =
AND vendor_site_id =
AND invoice_num = ''
Regards,
Radhika.

as a way:
-- create heterogeneous service for ms excel
-- create dblink for this service
-- do update like
UPDATE AP_INVOICES_ALL
   SET description = (
                          with t as
                            select value_for_description,                                   
                                   org_id,
                                   vendor_site_id,
                                   invoice_num
                             from sheet@dblink_to_excel
                          select t.value_for_description
                            from t t
                           where s.org_id = t.org_id
                                 and s.vendor_site_id = t.vendor_site_id
                                 and s.invoice_num = t.invoice_num
                        )other way:
-- create heterogeneous service for ms excel
-- create dblink for this service
-- insert for some temporary table
-- do update like above but based on temp table
