Have a look at the UDF 'ReadEventlog' for the first bit.
There is some sample code for creating & writing to an excel document in the Samples folder bundled with the Kix v4.6 zip file - called 'excel.kix'. Might give you some pointers.
Below *should* determine if the events exist
Code:
$events_1030 = ReadEventlog('Application',1030)
$events_1054 = ReadEventlog('Application',1054)
IF $events_1030[0] <> ""
"do stuff"
ENDIF
IF $events_1054[0] <> ""
"do more stuff"
ENDIF
