Scaling a dynamic block from user inputted values in excel

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I would like to set a block's dimensions to read an excel table's cell value and update the dimensions (i.e. change the size of the rectangle) based on values entered in an Excel table?

For example, given a rectangle that has dimensions X (Width) by Y (Height) and a table that has the X and Y values given in cells A1 and B1 linked from an excel spreadsheet.

I'm new to writing custom codes within AutoCAD, so any help/direction would be great!
