You need to use a third party application to do that.  
Something like [Zapier](https://4spotmarketing.com/zapier) or [Integromat](https://4spotmarketing.com/integromat).

I have just updated each contact with a couple of random numbers and dates from Excel. Allows me to split contacts and throttle sends etc. - desn’t matter that they are static.
