1-You can extract value and put them in an excel file. You can't modify an archicad schedule.

2- You need the GUID of the element and the GUID of the property to retrieve a value:

GetPropertyValuesOfElements(elements: List[ElementIdArrayItem], properties: List[PropertyIdArrayItem]) → List[PropertyValuesOrError] Returns the property values of the elements for the given property. Parameters: elements (list of ElementIdArrayItem) – A list of elements. properties (list of PropertyIdArrayItem) – A list of property identifiers. Returns: A list of property value lists. Return type: list of PropertyValuesOrError
