There is a trick that almost makes me love Microsoft... You can export an html table to Excel. Just output a table, maybe some heading before and a p-tag after if you like... no layout... no full html document needed. Just make the browser think this html table is an excel file and Excel will happily import it.
That is: Set the header to application/vnd.ms-excel and/or the filename to something.xls CSV is a very good format to export to since it is can be imported to any number of applications and databases. But if Excel is all you want I like the simple cheat with the table.
