Is there a way to import table , column descriptions into unity catalog?

I have a spreadheet containing table & column descriptions (comments) 

Is there a way to upload this against the schema in unity catalog? 

Basically instead of running  'Alter table <> alter column <>  comment "description"  '  command for every column, is there an easy way to mass apply column comments in unity catalog schema?

One of the ways to do it is to create a delta table using the Spreadsheet and loop through the delta table. Then, use the field value and create a dynamically alter query to update the description.
