Just to clarify, QuantLibAddin relies on gensrc, a Python application,
to build addins for various platforms including Excel.  Adding
additional functionality to the QuantLibAddin Excel build (aka
QuantLibXL) is relatively straightforward.  Extending the framework to
implement a new addin altogether is certainly doable but would require
development on your part.

See this link for a tutorial on building QuantLibAddin for Excel -
this includes instructions for installing python and gensrc:

The link below explains how to extend QuantLibAddin's gensrc
configuration to support new functions.  Some details are out of date
but in general the approach is unchanged:
