Repetitive extrusions for audio-diffusor: is it possible to use a CSV to automate it?

Fusion 360 free version.

 

My project is to make an audio diffusor

So, I know the size of the whole frame. 

The frame is divided in a grid-block 3x3cm

Each block should be extruded separately because it has a different height than the adjacent ones.
Here below an example, where I extruded the first 3 block-lines (one-by-one).

Now my question is: by using parametric method, is it possible to import a CSV that contains the extrusion of each block and automate this process and expedite it?

Here the values I would turn into a CSV.

There is no out-of-the-box tool available for this through Fusion menus.

If you are familiar with Python programming, this can possibly be done through Fusions Python AP

I wrote a Python script that automatically reads the CSV file and generates the corresponding design (less than a minute on my machine). Let me know if you're still interested.
