I just checked a job (all my jobs dump the environment when they start)
and it's: _CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR

        _CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR = d:\abc\condor\execute\dir_400

You can have Condor transfer both your code and the Excel spreadsheet to
the remote directory for the job. Then you just need to change your code
to look in the working directory for any input files it requires.

I have to admit I don't quite understand what you're trying to do, so
general advice here is hard to give. Sounds like you have a handle on an
approach though. If you've got a specific question maybe I can be of
more help! Sorry. :)
