One way many write to Excel is to create csv files. For instance, if you create a file called output.csv:

output.csv
Code:
smith,200,10
barry,300,12
harry,12,2001

Excel would read this as a spreadsheet with three rows of data, each row with three columns. Would this accomplish what you want?
Thanks for your posting. This format is fine for me. What can be the approach for this?

thanks and regards,
