Is there a mod that can read microsoft excel files?

The old-style .xls format? Not to my knowledge. There appear to be plenty pay-for libraries available to do it though. (geepers, don't they charge a lot for those things!)

what about other formats like CSV?

Brucey (Posted 2008) [#4]

comma-separated files are pretty easy to read... Read a line. Split it by comma. Someone may even have an example in the code archives.

The tokenizer in the codearchive is nice for splitting strings by comma or whatever. http://blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1460
