Are you wanting to avoid the file attribute?
This is Ben's solution but it requires a template file and a write file:
<poi:document
name="REQUEST.ExcelData"
file="#ExpandPath( './test.xls' )#"
template="#ExpandPath( './includes/poitemplate.xls' )#"
>
</poi:document>
<!--- Tell the browser to expect an Excel file attachment. --->
<cfheader
name="content-disposition"
value="attachment; filename=test.xls"
/>
<!---
Tell browser the length of the byte array output stream.
This will help the browser provide download duration to
the user.
--->
<cfheader
name="content-length"
value="#REQUEST.ExcelData.Size()#"
/>
<!--- Stream the binary data to the user. --->
<cfcontent
type="application/excel"
variable="#REQUEST.ExcelData.ToByteArray()#"
/>
