Hiafter adding reference am getting another error saying that "OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in single-threaded apartment mode."

Check this will work

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'Server1',
@srvproduct = 'Excel',
@provider = 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.14.0',
@datasrc = 'D:\New\Albany_ActPlan_2008_1Record.xlsx;HDR=YES;IMEX=1',
@provstr = 'Excel 14.0;IMEX=1;HDR=YES;'

SELECT * FROM Server1...TableName
