If you can use Java, the Apache POI library makes reading and writing MS
Office formats about as easy as it can be. I've successfully used the
libraries to read and write non-trivial Excel spreadsheets and also to
generate Powerpoint slides (although the current support for Powerpoint is
less complete than for Excel). It would be a significant development
effort to build equivalent infrastructure in XSLT and I would be loath to
take it on.
For powerpoint generation I used the technique of using an intermediate
XML format that abstracts slides and then Java code that transforms that
XML into Powerpoint using the POI library. That makes it possible to use
XSLT to generate the slide content but avoids having to deal with the
Office Open complexity in XSLT. The code is the The Slidinator project on
Github (https://github.com/drmacro/slidinator).
Cheers,

Hi,
You can also generating Open Document spreedsheets (xls) and then convert
them to xlsx document with
libreoffice for exemple.
I think that generating Open Document Format is more easy than generating
Office Open XML. I have do it in
some simple case.

Does anyone know of success stories in generating Office Open XML
artifacts using XSLT?
(This is the "open" format used by Microsoft Office since 2007,
standardized in ISO/IEC 29500 and ECMA-376.)
I am looking for pointers to solid documentation of namespaces and
package structure, particularly for SpreadsheetML (Microsoft's .xlsx
format) as used in Excel 2007.
Thanks in advance,
