Christophe,

To do what you are asking would require knowledge of the Microsoft Excel binary format that is used to store the files. That information may be available in the internet somewhere...
Another option is to use ActiveX to place data directly into Excel while it is open. LabVIEW has many shipping examples of using ActiveX and Excel.
