Do you have anything in the Excel mailing list which would uniquely 
identify them in the records koha keeps? If so, the basic shape of an 
obvious solution is reading the Excel file (either save it as CSV, or 
use a perl module that reads Excel directly) and using that info to 
write update commands on the koha user MySQL tables.
