I  want to create a excel file from my script if it does not exist.

_ExcelBookOpen throws error=2 if file does not exist, after this error i want to create new file at this point.

can i use _FileCreate()?

_Logger($sLogPath, "{INFO}------: Opening Excel File: " & $sExcelPath& "")

    While 1
        Local $oExcelTestResult = _ExcelBookOpen($sExcelPath)

        If @error = 2 Then

            If not _FileCreate($sResExcelPath) Then
                MsgBox(0, "Error", "Error In Opening REsult Excel File: Error: " & String(@error))
                _Logger($sLogPath, "{ERROR}------: Result Excel File does not exist.. tried to create new but :ERROR : " & String(@error) & "")
                ExitLoop
            Else
                _Logger($sLogPath, "{INFO}------: Result Excel File does not exist.. **Created New**: ")

            EndIf
        Else

            ExitLoop

        EndIf
    WEnd

Seens the version of AutoIt you run is quite old. The Excel UDF has been rewritten.
With the current version I suggest something like:

If FileExists("Your Excel file") Then
    $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen(...)
Else
    $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookNew(...)
EndIf
