Can't you just write a filter?  A Mathematica routine which will take a 
table, print the numbers, putting tabs between entries in a row, and a 
newline between lines?  Excel can read such textfiles as tables.

You do have to be careful to evaluate things numerically; Excel wouldn't 
know what to do with 3 Sqrt[2].  It doesn't even know what to do with 
-2^2.
