If I sell my home and have a million dollars in gain and qualify for the 121 exclusion can the excess gain above the 500,000 be used to reduce the basis for my new home

No.

The amount over 500,000 is claimed as Capital Gain.

The ability to defer the gain on the sale of your primary home by purchasing another home at the same price or higher than the sales price of the home was removed from the tax code in 1997.
