Not sure why you can't get the previously posted code to work.
Here's what happens when I run it, with your latest csv file, at the ksh prompt...
Code:
$ cat report.csv
SALES DAILY REPORT
DATE: 06-26-2007
REPORT NAME: SALES DATA

AA.BB.CCCC.DDDD,BBBBB,06-26-2007,0,BEGIN,END
ZZ.VV.DDDD.XXXXXXX,MMMMMM,06-25-2007,18,BEGIN,END
CC.XX.VVV.QQ,KKKKK,06-24-2007,END,BEGIN

$ awk 'BEGIN{
        FS=","
        print "<HTML><BODY><TABLE border=1>"
     }
     {
        printf "<TR>"
        for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
          printf "<TD>%s</TD>", $i
        print "</TR>"
     }
     END{
        print "</TABLE></BODY></HTML>"
     }
     ' report.csv > report.xls

$ cat report.xls
<HTML><BODY><TABLE border=1>
<TR><TD>SALES DAILY REPORT</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>DATE: 06-26-2007 </TD></TR>
<TR><TD>REPORT NAME: SALES DATA</TD></TR>
<TR></TR>
<TR><TD>AA.BB.CCCC.DDDD</TD><TD>BBBBB</TD><TD>06-26-2007</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>BEGIN</TD><TD>END</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>ZZ.VV.DDDD.XXXXXXX</TD><TD>MMMMMM</TD><TD>06-25-2007</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>BEGIN</TD><TD>END</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>CC.XX.VVV.QQ</TD><TD>KKKKK</TD><TD>06-24-2007</TD><TD>END</TD><TD>BEGIN</TD></TR>
</TABLE></BODY></HTML>

When I open the report.xls in Excel, all of the columns are displayed correctly with column widths set to the right size.
