Perhaps you can use Excel itself as an object, through QAxObject or 
something like that? Of course, this would only work on Windows. See the 
chapter in the docs on "Using ActiveX controls and COM object in Qt".

Ods could be created directly of course; it's format is defined. But 
perhaps you can get away with using QTextDocumentWriter with a ODF 
textformat as an output format? If not, it may at least inspire you to 
look at the sources for this.
