I just completed a project with this as a feature. I looked at various options, and using server-sider excel generation worked out to be the most powerful...providing you have BASIC PHP knowledge, and a hosting option / local server with PHP & pear. I used a combination of AMFPHP and PEAR Spreadshhet_Excel_Writer package(http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer). Easy to use and sooo powerful. You have full customization of how the excel doc & cells/column etc formatting turns out.
After generating your file, you can prompt the user for download.
