Yes but you have to do some work. You can use standard file I/O to access the file,
then you have to parse the Excel file format to extract your data. Suggest to put
any file I/O code into main() function, before real-time code runs (i.e.
initialization only).

How to read Excel files is not a DSP-specific question... but anyway here is some
info on Excel file format:
