I have never heard that, and I have known a lot of business professors. If you were to try to get through a graduate business program without a really thorough command of Excel, I think you would have a very hard time.
See if you can email a business professor at a school you would like to attend and ask him or her if that is true. Business undergraduate programs which are probably the largest programs at most colleges would not exist if people didn’t leave those programs and seek an MBA.
There is so much to learn about business as an undergraduate, I can’t see that schools would want to take up time teaching you all the business things you would have learned as an undergraduate when you are working on a graduate degree.

What is the difference between graduate and undergraduate?
Good business schools like to have a mix of UG majors in their entering class, and many will pick some but not a huge percentage of business majors. If you major in business (such as finance or accounting), then your competition for acceptance into an MBA program will most likely be other business majors. It is important to do well with rigorous coursework no matter your major, and also have other things that make you stand out–especially evidence of leadership ability and teamwork. Most good MBA programs want at least 2-3 years experience and that counts as well.
