Hi Jak82,
You just need to run these commands from a Powershell with administrative rights:
Save-Module -Name ImportExcel -Path <path> Install-Module -Name ImportExcel

As an elevated administrator type the following:
find-module importexcel | Install-Module
Be sure the PSGallery is registered:
Get-PsRepository

You are not required to use Administrator privileges like everyone is posting. You can scope the install of the module to your user profile without elevated privileges.
Install-Module ImportExcel -Scope User
This will install the module under: $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\
