Dynamic Color Swatches with Data-Merge
Make the Swatches dynamic with Data-Merge so that you can enter a Colorcode in the Excel document and it changes the Swatch with the same name or something like that.

Thank you for your feedback, but still it'd be easier if they included a function that could swap out color swatches. Plus can your method also change the color of Objects (Squares and Spheres etc. or even recollored Illustrator-Files)

This is already possible from InDesign, but it does require some setup. See my article at InDesignsecrets: https://indesignsecrets.com/applying-any-cmyk-color-during-a-data-merge.php
