You can read from Excel...the big hurdle (as I said in my post on the newsgroup) is how you actually grab excel. The way the scripting components work that's really the biggest hurdle. The only thing about reading from excel is that the only way it would read the file was if either something in Rhino or GH changed, so if you change the excel file nothing would change within the GH environment. I was working on trying to get excel events to fire off a change and got a sub in excel fired off for a change, but I was unable to successfully get the rhino instance to fire of a change that would be registered by GH. I haven't taken to close of a look at it in a while, but I might sit down with this again.
