I don't know if it does what you want, however you might try package RExcel.
However it is not on CRAN. You can find it on
http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/download/.
I belive it might be obsolete and replaced by R (D)COM Server V1.35
(previously you needed this package to use RExcel) which you can find on
http://cran.planetmirror.com/contrib/extra/dcom/RSrv135.html (description)
or http://cran.planetmirror.com/contrib/extra/dcom/RSrv135.exe (add-on).
I hope this helps!
