There are two ways to do this.
1. Create an OLE object and automate Excell from the application
2. Create a reader/writer to the MS Excell file format
Obviously #1is more simple and faster to implement, although it will only
work on the Windows platform.

I forgot to mention a third possibility. You can also output the data into
some commonly known format like CSV from lazarus. As a second step you
should make a maco in excell that reads this datafile and puts the
corresponding items into the proper cells.
This method is cross platform compatible
