No, just copy them into the correct location, but copy them with e.g. leading and trailing brackets, or copy them with a certain unique style, so that you can identify them when you open this Excel file in a CAT tool.
Of course, this depends on how good your CAT tool is. Can you tell your CAT tool to ignore all text that is not inside brackets? Or to ignore all text that is not in a certain style? Better yet, can you tell your CAT tool to only translate cells that are highlighted in a certain colour?
All this sorting and copying would only work, of course, if there are not hidden rows.
