In addition to the comments posted, make sure that the columns in Excel match exactly the columns in the SharePoint list's view. For example, if you columns Title, Salary and Status in SharePoint, then you should have the same, matching data in Excel. The column heading names do NOT need to match, but the data and order must match. Also, if your view has additional columns visible such as Modified By, hide those. Otherwise, you'll get an error when trying to paste.
