I would advise against using AutoIT for manipulation of Excel through the GUI when there are Ruby gems that let you access Excel through its API.
For example I've had great success using the Excel Interface Class http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Excel%20interface%20class This ruby class provides simple methods for reading and writing data records to and from Excel spreadsheets. This data can then be easily used to create data-driven Watir tests. This class hides the complexities of directly using ruby's win32ole library to interface with Excel.
