Ah yes the answer is the $100 question, only joking, its not straight forward but it is achievable and again there are just so many answers to your question out there that do just that pick something in Autocad and put an answer in a Excel cell.
This is why the csv is offered first as its simple.
The excel answers always seem to come back with more requests for enhancements people like me offer solutions for free here, so Cadtutor should not be used as a I want for free. Start with getexcel.lsp.
Again GOOGLE search here also, it may take say an hour but you will find what you want it is definitely out there.
