I am fairly confident that this is not possible using IDL. There have been
a few posts regarding Excel and queries for routines to read/write .xls
files that have gone mostly unanswered. Since we have no idea how you are
writing data to Excel it is hard to say. If you are on a mac, you could
probably do it with "DO_APPLE_SCRIPT" but I have only used ActiveX/VBA on
the PC so that's a guess.

I really think that it would be far easier and faster to write something in
VBA to do this (aka a macro). I'm not a big fan of The Man (tm) but Excel's
VBA interface is excellent. Just make sure you install the VBA help files,
they aren't installed by default.
