MS Access: Export Table or Query data from access in to existing excel sheet

I needed to export data from access table to an existing excel file and on an existing sheet. For this I found a very good solution through this website.
Public Function SendTQ2XLWbSheet(strTQName As String, strSheetName As String, strFilePath As String)
' strTQName is the name of the table or query you want to send to Excel
' strSheetName is the name of the sheet you want to send it to
' strFilePath is the name and path of the file you want to send this data into.

Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim strPath As String
Const xlCenter As Long = -4108
Const xlBottom As Long = -4107
On Error GoTo err_handler

strPath = strFilePath

Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strTQName)

Set ApXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Set xlWBk = ApXL.Workbooks.Open(strPath)

ApXL.Visible = True

Set xlWSh = xlWBk.Worksheets(strSheetName)

xlWsh.Activate

xlWSh.Range("A1").Select

For Each fld In rst.Fields
ApXL.ActiveCell = fld.Name
ApXL.ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Next

rst.MoveFirst

xlWSh.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst

xlWSh.Range("1:1").Select
' This is included to show some of what you can do about formatting. You can comment out or delete
' any of this that you don't want to use in your own export.
With ApXL.Selection.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.Size = 12
.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.OutlineFont = False
.Shadow = False
End With

ApXL.Selection.Font.Bold = True

With ApXL.Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.IndentLevel = 0
.ShrinkToFit = False
.MergeCells = False
End With

' selects all of the cells
ApXL.ActiveSheet.Cells.Select

' does the "autofit" for all columns
ApXL.ActiveSheet.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit

' selects the first cell to unselect all cells
xlWSh.Range("A1").Select

rst.Close

Set rst = Nothing

Exit_SendTQ2XLWbSheet:
Exit Function

err_handler:
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, Err.Number
Resume Exit_SendTQ2XLWbSheet
End Function

Usage
Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("MyQueryNameHere", "SheetNameHere", "PathAndFileNameHere")
