    Yes and no. Yes you can create variables and control model with those but no you can't drive them using a spreadsheet.

    Look at Onshape help for variables, there's also really cool way to create 'option variable' that let's you quickly select different set of variables.

    Use feedback to add ticket for spreadsheet driven vars, that is definitely needed (though I would prefer google sheets over excel)
