Full Discussion: HOWTO create in UNIX a Microsoft Excel-Sheet (with data from Oracle)
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting HOWTO create in UNIX a Microsoft Excel-Sheet (with data from Oracle) Post 302431654 by bakunin on Tuesday 22nd of June 2010 11:44:39 AM

Set aside that there are several "Excel formats", as the thing chanes its output with every (sub-)release: the native Excel format is not standardized at all and many aspects of it are undisclosed information by Microsoft, so all the information about its format out there in the net are mostly the fruit of (more or less accurate) reverse engineering.

It is doubtful that there is any gain in converting the output to Excel format with any other tool than Excel itself - just feed it a CSV-file and hope for the best (as you should anyways, using M$$-Office).

If you still want to undergo the exertion, you might want to read this document:

I hope this helps.
