I just follow this tutorial (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/34364/using-a-template-file-when-writing-excel-data.html) try to write data to Excel table and found looks difficult, see attached image, write to Named Range in Excel looks perfect. Thank you.

A bit more information about Excel Tables:

 

 

A table is a special structure in an Excel document. It has filter cells on the headings and special formatting for the cells. In excel, you can specify a table and then as you add data to it, the formatting expands to each column or row added. See here for an example: http://www.excel-easy.com/data-analysis/tables.html

You can create a template excel file with a table but you have explicitly know the Rows/Columns that you need or the formatting will not be applied to all the data.
