Is there any way to do this on QuickBooks Desktop?

My accountant has shared the custom reports as an Excel file, and I'd like to import them to QBD.

Thanks for posting an update about this reporting concern, @Evanscab.

At the moment, the system will only allow importing files like bank transactions, accountant’s changes, general journal entries, and batch transactions. You can also import name lists for customers and vendors.

Importing reports in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is currently unavailable as there are built-in reports within the program. See this link to learn more about the import options in QBDT: Import and export data in QuickBooks Desktop

While the preference you want is currently unavailable. Please know that our engineers are working hard toward this goal. We want your voice to be heard and be put in action. If you have any product suggestions to our developers about our purchase order preferences, go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.
