It looks like the points are not a closed loop. Plot the points in Excel to confirm the start and end point are congruent. If they are not, fix your Excel data.

You should also take a look at the use of .ibl files if you are working with aero surfaces generated from equations that you will import into Creo.

I was able to get a smooth curve using the xlsx data.  You probably have an issue with how you imported the xlsx data to create the points for the curve.

Here is how I did it:

• Save xlsx as csv
• Open csv in Word
• Replace commas with several spaces
• In creo, select point by offset coordinate system
• Select Update Values... (notepad should open)
• Copy and paste data from Word into notepad window 
• Close notepad and save.
• Select OK
• Create curve
