Importing data from spreadsheet into wordpress DB, along with custom taxonomies and their terms

I don’t think you should create a new column in wp_posts…

This kind of info is stored in wp_postmeta.

When I need this kind of importing (Excel->WP), I use CSV Importer, as you can assign categories, tags and custom field to the imported data.
You’ll probably need to do a couple of tests with few entries until get the right CSV format.

And maybe, you’ll also need to manipulate the CSV in an advanced text editor before importing (as Microsoft software is not always that smart).
