Need a help

Hi,
I just came across a below scenario question. Please help me to find a better answer for this.

Assume I have emailed the Excel list of 800 Accounts to the Sales team. They have added a column for Website (URL), entered a value for each Account and sent the Excel file back to you.  Describe the process you would use to most efficiently get those Website values into Salesforce.

Please let me know.
Regards.

If the salesforce record ID was orginally in the Excel list, then get the file back, convert it to a CSV and use DataLoader UPDATE

You can not create a new field using dataloader.  You can create a new field using the standard salesforce tool (setup-etc)., then Dataloader can update any that is already defined in the metadata (and on a page layout somewhere).
