Copy the Excel data in you table cell,
Select the nested table from Excel
Use Table > Convert... > Table to text

Cheers!

things you can do with the pasted text. One of them should be "Merge with
existing Table".

If you don't see this button, you may need to activate the feature in
Tools/Options/Edit
