The nessus .nbe format is delimited by |
You can grep the timestamps and results into different files and import them separately if that makes it easier.
Just import into excel with | as the delimiter.
Now the annoying part, sometimes, the description of the vulnerability will include a | in it (as in TRACK|TRACE) and one or more that I'm aware of. You'll need to be aware of these and understand that this may throw your columns off a bit unless you can identify them and change the |'s that do not belong to something else (ie. |)
