I like this approach and excel is smart enough to recognise the xml
spreadsheet data even if you use the .xls extension (it does issue a warning
message though, that the file format does not match the extension)

If you are going to do this method make sure your users can open xml
spreadsheet i think its probably supported by office 10ish onwards.

You can also use CGIDEV2. I use this often and have no problems with
formulas. The formulas are just defined in the XML template. And it is
also FREE.

Here is an article by Paul Tuohy that lays out the basics. It is
surprisingly simple.
