Profiles table

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know is there any way to generate a database of profiles in AutoCad without drawing one by one? I have excel file with all parameters of profiles and I need them in dwg. I don`t have enough time to draw it one by one so can someone help me, please?
Excel file is in an attachment.
Thank you!

Why do you need to draw all of these? The manufacturer might already have drawings of these, try emailing them or googleing "AutoCAD block library"

This actually looks like an excellent application for dynamic blocks.  This would involve drawing at least one "prototypical" profile and then using the tables as the source for setting up the parameters by which the profile(s) may vary.

This will take time, however, so unfortunately, if you "don't have time", the bottom line answer is that there is no way.  If these profiles will see lots of future use, meaning taking the time now will save time in the future many times over, then it's worth the time investment now.
