Generating a Network Diagram from topology information in Excel

Question

Has anyone tried to generate a network diagram from topology information in an Excel spreadsheet? The spreadsheet contains source and destination device names, IP addresses and interface names. Essentially CDP information. Importing the data into Lucid Chart isn’t a problem, but is there a way to have Lucid Chart automatically generate the network topology, including links and interface names, based on the imported data? If there is a way, does the imported data require a unique key for each row, even though the same source device can appear multiple times (if there are multiple neighbors)?
