RaiMan proposed the following answer:
YES, of course you can do that with Sikuli.

To have it nice and easy, this should be the case:
- the excel sheets are accessed programmatically (not visually), e.g using something like xlrd on the Python script level or using a csv version of the sheet.
- the application setup is rather fixed (or can be setup this way)
- the app switching can be done using App.focus() (distinguishable window titles) (alt-tab is not reliable enough and needs additional effort to make it robust)
- the app GUI's are rather fixed, so all fields can be activated for input by using relative positions to a few key visuals and/or a reliable series of tabbing.

If one ore more of these aspects are not fully available, the complexity
rises of course. And might rise to an amount, that does not pay back for
the amount of effort to make a robust automation package.

A typical aspect, that raises complexity and effort:
to access fields on a GUI, the respective app needs some scrolling
