Actually, it is a completely different job. Note that it is the case for many formats (think of HTML or XML for instance).

Now, you find in the Excel Writer toolbox a program called biff_dump.adb that supports some early Excel formats and could be extended.
For the current format(s) (.xlsx), you can combine Zip-Ada for the container and XML-Ada for the contents.
Same for the .ods format.
