I dont have a real solution, but some thoughts on how to get the results you want.
In Excel you create a worksheet with a pivot table which points to the worksheet which contains the actual data. This file is your template, append the data... the user simply refreshes.
No idea of this could work or is possible...

From a process point of view why aren't they connecting to a data(view) / source to do it by themselves in Excel in stead of this "planning for failure" option?!

- Pivot tables in Excel? and writing the table data to a new Excel sheet in an existing template xlsx file?
or
- Users connect to a database(view) via ODBC and import the data in an Excel-file (a template like above)

If you arent familar with ODBC, Excel, pivot tables please google a bit. plenty of info...
