There is already a tool that does it quite well. It is called Excel :)

Seriously, excel (at least older version) could be accessed via COM
libraries. You can auto create
bindings to the excel COM libraries pretty easily using GNATCOM

For some things it is really easy to use the COM interface. For others...not
so easy.

Not sure where excel falls.
