I used Excel2LaTeX to create a table in LaTeX and here is the code that gives me an error.

The error I'm getting is this
! Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr.
<template> \endtemplate
l.692 \multicolumn{5}{r}{} &

You have given more \span or & marks than there were
in the preamble to the \halign or \valign now in progress.
So I'll assume that you meant to type \cr instead.
Anybody know what's going on?
