What you are trying to implement is there. There are a couple of ways to do this, the simpler way to do this would be to datalinq every field in the sequencer mode and set the row to %relid% (you should be able to right click and go to formula to insert relid as well). What that does is it sets the row to the relative id of the group. so if your group number is 500 and your scene number is 501 then the relative id is 1.
An alternative approach and how I would probably do it if I were you is using a datalinq key. In layout mode, the top object in your object manager should be named the same thing as the scene you are working on. This is your scene object for the scene. The far right tab of this object is titled "Datalinq Keys". A datalinq key allows a to pass a value in from the sequence into your scene. When you click the datalinq key tab, there is a button in the far right of the window that says "Add". Click this button and then click into the name field of row that just appeared. I would name it something like "row".
Now that you have that go ahead and start datalinqing your text inside of the layout. When you do this, I would go through and select every field I want, but make sure to select a row other than the front. By doing it like this this, you should have something pop in your row field that has a pair of brackets around a number (kinda like ""). If you selected the top row you would not likely not see this number. every where you see the number in the brackets for your row go through and replace it with "". now you can set the datalinq key in the sequencer to whatever you want and pull that row of information into the scene. With that done, you go back to your sequence and drag your scene into a new group. Once there I would set the datakey rows to "%relid%" and duplicate for however many rows I have in the excel.
