Copying an excel multi line cell into an Indesign table


I'm creating a booklet with indesign and I am trying to copy data from an excel spreadsheet into an indesign table. I was given an excel spread sheet with the a list of peoples names, their titles and their companies. I have to put a name in one column and then in the other put the company name and their title, as the picture (1) here illustrates:


enter image description here


Where the problem arises is trying to merge two cells in excel so that they are underneath each other and then paste it into one cell in the indesign table.


Excel


I tried to combine column C and D (as IN THE PICTURE) and insert a new line between the columns. (=C1&CHAR(10)&D1)


This worked in Excel but when copying it into indesign they do not go underneath each other but into different cells and they also show " quotation marks around the text.


I know there must be a relatively simple way of doing this in Excel and then copying it into indesign but I have run out of ideas. Can anyone tell me the best way to approach this as I am stuck. Thanks in advance.
