Excel can read the following kinds of files:

comma delimited files
tab delimited files
HTML tables

I prefer HTML tables as you get to keep all the
formatting information.

For example, if you cut and paste the following table
code into a file

<table>
  <tr>
    <td><b>heading</b></td>
    <td><i>italic</i></td>
    <td><font color="#123456">colored</font></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#FEDCBA">data</td>
    <td>one</td>
    <td>two</td>
  </tr>
</table>

You can open it with excel and see the result.

This doesn't exactly answer your question as I'm not
sure exactly how dynamic you need your data to be.
