Another Symmetry project allows reading Excel files and a third 
is wrapper and bindings around a C library to write Excel files.  
We use them in production daily though there may be rough edges 
for features we don't use.

I should think you can use a Javascript library and call it from 
D.  See trading views repo by Sebastian Koppe for an example of 
this.  Bindings are manual currently but he will work on 
generating them from the Typescript bindings in time.
