Hi Folks,

That was me who sent that CSS to Excel example. Here it is again, plus a
another CSS class for formatting dates.

.cell_date {
 font-size:9pt; 
 font-style:normal; 
 mso-number-format:"mmm\\-d\\-yyyy";  
 mso-generic-font-family:auto;
}

The attached has classes for credit-card numbers, currency values and phone
number masking.

By using HTML and CSS for your Excel export, obviously you can make some
very professional finished export results. 

Don't forget to use rewrite the HTTP Content-type, to either force Excel to
open or prompt the user for download with an *.xls extension.

Hope that helps.
