the devil is in the details, but if xp_cmdShell is available, you can use THAT via tsql to :
1. get the list of files,
2. create a cursor/loop for each of those files
3.dynamically drop/create a linked server pointing to the [current] excel file.
4. insert/update into your destination table from the lined server
