is there some way sgminer can be made to switch pools using a profitability password when the pools are not Nicehash pools

cheers  

Not using a password as far as I know, that would have to be implemented on the pool side and as you mentioned yourself Nicehash is the only one so far to do this.
CGwatcher has an option to change pool according to coin-profitability but it hasn't been updated for a long time and only lists the older coins Sad

how about getting sgminer to talk to Microsoft excel through api or something ??

just a shot

Coin profitability is very dynamic and changes every time one of the coins moves on to a new block, so it changes constantly. An excel sheet would be way too static for this purpose. If you can write a tool to use the SGminer API then you can also use the APIs from various pools and exchanges to poll difficulty and exchange price and change the pool on SGminer based on that. But I doubt if it's worth all that trouble.

how do you mean excel would be way to static i don't get that you can get excel to take live real time updating feeds straight from websites  from pools and exchanges and also API call's,,, process the data relative to your own mining power and then auto work out the most profitable for you,,,, the only bit i have not done is get excel to actually auto switch the miner ...
