Ant I believe is talking about creating a CSV file (filename.csv) as opposed to a direct Excel file (filename.xls). CSV files can be opened in Excel but do not permit advanced formatting options like you can get in an Excel spreadsheet. CSV files only allow you to dump lists of data.
Depending on what you are looking for CSV files are simpler to do than Excel ones and may be all that is needed.
