This code seems working, Tested in local Environment WampServer Version 2.1

Download latest version of PHPExcel from here PHPExcel 1.7.6

Working Code.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
require_once '../Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';
require_once '../Classes/PHPExcel.php';

$excel2 = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader('Excel2007');
$excel2 = $excel2->load('nTest.xlsx'); // Empty Sheet
$excel2->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$excel2->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('C6', '4')
    ->setCellValue('C7', '5')
    ->setCellValue('C8', '6')       
    ->setCellValue('C9', '7');

$excel2->setActiveSheetIndex(1);
$excel2->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A7', '4')
    ->setCellValue('C7', '5');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($excel2, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('Nimit New.xlsx');
?>

Remove this line from your code: $excel2->setLoadAllSheets();.

Hope this will help.
