There is a little known format that MS Excel can read and write -- it is called SYLK. (see "save as" in Excel). Like CSV, it is text based, but unlike CSV, it allows to specify as a cell contents not just numeric or text data, but also formula, and formatting. It also allows to group cells together.

If closest possible export of grid content in excel is desired then this format is one of the options.
