Upload an Excel Data into AD 2012r2

Hello Experts,

We have an Excel spread sheet with Employ full names (not their usernames) and a birth month (ie june). We'd like to  upload the birth month into an empty unused field (as soon as I figure out how to find one!) with AD.

Windows 2012r2 AD.

Can this be done? How? Can I create a field OR use a field that's not normally visible, like....phone number 3 or IP Phone etc.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Side suggestion:  You could just make a OU for birth months and a group for each month, then add users to that group.

I don't do a lot of work from excel these days (joys of reaching the level of Systems Architect), but thanks for the recommendation. I'll look at it :D

No response from user. Noted answers provide a good solution to the problem, though.
