Getting values from sharepoint column

Hi all,

in microsoft word there is a 'quick parts' option where i can automatically grab the value created in a sharepoint column (for example the automatically generated ID number)

i need to achieve the same thing in excel but i dont even know if its possible, everything i am searching for is to do lookup columns in sharepoint.

has anyone got any idea if this is possible at all or where i would even start.

many thanks in advance, so far the microsoft communities have been a massive help! its excellent to have so many people willing to help!
