It is very likely that you are not reading the file you have just 
created: the exported file "test.xls" is located in $HomeDirectory 
whereas "D:\test.xls" is located on the root level of the second 
drive/partition.


In[1]:= data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {3, 4, 2}]
Export["test.xls", data]

Out[1]= {{{0.902338, 0.905259}, {0.992485, 0.820032}, {0.324872,
    0.880122}, {0.713961, 0.625327}}, {{0.157472, 0.849435}, {0.947472,
     0.976526}, {0.834299, 0.528255}, {0.994454, 0.807406}}, {{0.61929,
     0.253483}, {0.695069, 0.76067}, {0.635693, 0.0609954}, {0.761752,
    0.608448}}}

Out[2]= "test.xls"

In[3]:= data1 = Import["test.xls", {"Data", 1}]
data2 = Import["test.xls", {"Data", 2}]
data3 = Import["test.xls", {"Data", 3}]

Out[3]= {{0.902338, 0.905259}, {0.992485, 0.820032}, {0.324872,
   0.880122}, {0.713961, 0.625327}}

Out[4]= {{0.157472, 0.849435}, {0.947472, 0.976526}, {0.834299,
   0.528255}, {0.994454, 0.807406}}

Out[5]= {{0.61929, 0.253483}, {0.695069, 0.76067}, {0.635693,
   0.0609954}, {0.761752, 0.608448}}
