I want to write a bit of elisp to take a file/buffer in org-mode and
export the tables to an excel sheet.

I know (very little) of how to write the code to make an excel sheet
from wscript. eg
giving wscript the following, opens a blank excel sheet:

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Workbooks.Add
objExcel.Visible = True

Is there some easy/natural way to get this functionality inside elisp?
