There are a number of ways you can output to Excel:

1. Setfocus and paste it (send CTRL-v)
2. Use DDERequest
3. Use VBScript
4. Write to a CSV file using WriteLn

There are sample macros which demonstrate items 2 and 3. Also read this:

Remove the quotes. VBRun accepts Macro Scheduler string values. So you should not use quotes in VBRun.
