You can exchange information between ArchiCAD and excel using Properties.

You can list the properties in schedules (which sort of look like excel tables already) and exchange information using these. There are some youtube tutorials about this method on the archicad youtube channel. I believe this was introduced with ArchiCAD20, but the method should still work the same way in 21 or 22.

While you can't use the properties to directly influence object parameters, you can set up properties to work with objects.

For example, you want to list some technical specification properties like max. noise level or something like that, you can create a property for this and set it up in archicad or through excel import/export.
