Ok, so with the examples of others here, here is the shortest example that I came up with that
should get you going.

<?php

header("Content-Type:  application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

$x = $y = range(0, 12);

echo '<table>';

echo '<tr><td> </td><td>' . join('</td><td>', $x) . '</td></tr>';

foreach ( $x AS $xx ) {
	echo "<tr><td>{$xx}</td>";
	foreach ( $y AS $yy ) {
		echo "<td>=sum(".(chr(ord('b')+$yy))."1*a".($xx+2).")</td>";
	}
	echo "</tr>";
}
echo '</table>';

?>

This will output a 14x14 table.  It will calculate the totals for each cell in the actual
spreadsheet once excel loads it.

If you have any questions, ask away.
