I don't know what to say about the other stuff, but let's look at just 
this part above.

I think elements is an array of hashes, right? So it could be something 
like this: elements = [{:name => 'John', :value => 35}, {:name => 
'Henry', :value
=> 45}, {:name => 'Sue', :value => 23}]

I used File.open - this method is like File.new where a new file is 
created. Except I have associated a block with File.open. The block is 
involked with File as parameter. This method will close your file when 
the block is done.

See what file you get when you do this:

irb(main):006:0> File.open('test.txt', 'w') do |file|
irb(main):007:1* file << "Hello"
irb(main):008:1> file << "  How are you?"
irb(main):009:1> file << "\n"
irb(main):010:1> file << "I am fine"
irb(main):011:1> end

You should get a txt file that has this in it:

Hello  How are you?
I am fine

All I am doing is appending strings to the file.

So with your example, you can iterate on your array elements using the 
'Array.each' command, where you grab the name and value on each element 
of the array using a block - which is done by grabbing the value of each 
hash key.

Then you make sure your file has '.csv' behind it. Excel can read csv 
files. there is no Excel coding. All you do is create the file

I forced the name and value on the first row in the spreadsheet file by 
doing

row << "Name, Value\n"

If those are not changing, that should work.

Are you shooting for a table like this:

Name   Value
John  35
Henry  45
Sue  23

in Excel?
