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.

Speaking of excel format, It is rumored that the next version (excel 2007?) will
introduce a new format based on xml which is different from biff8. To make
situation more complicated, the whole world (openoffice etc) do not follow M$
and consolidated on another office document format.
