how to create an excel workbook using the excel toolkit

I've starte working with the excel toolkit combined with the GOOP toolkit. After finding out that the GOOP Toolkit apparently has problems working with LabView 5, with which I developed my application, I changed to LabView 6. My first step was to open an existing excel workbook. Here I was successful. On the other hand I could not create a workbook using the excel open vi. Did I miss something?

There's an input to the excel open that chooses "open workbook from file" or
"open new workbook" which should do it. Unless you meant 'worksheet' in
which case there is another function in the tookit to do that.

Goyo,
To open a new Excel Report (Excel Workbook), use New Report.vi, and specify the report type to be Excel.
To create a new Excel Worksheet, within an existing workbook, use Excel Add Worksheet.vi.
