Plot data in excel on saved chart template

I am trying to plot data in Excel from Matlab onto a chart template that I saved from Excel. I tried manipulating the VBA code to load the template which is

eW.ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select;    
eWs.ActiveChart.ApplyChartTemplate('C:...')

but I error out saying AddChart and ApplyChartTemplate is not a command. I have a feeling that I can do this with invoke but have had no luck trying something like this

template = 'C:....';
% Add a chart to the workbook
Chart = invoke(Excel,'ApplyTemplate',template);

Has anyone ever loaded a chart template and plotted to it successfully?
