title: Designing a report by reverse engineering an Excel spreadsheet
body: <p>I am trying to produce a report which should ultimately be exported in Excel format.</p>
  
  <p>The template of the report is available to me in Excel.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a smart way to "reverse engineer the Excel" in order to design the report (if possible respecting the position of the cells).</p>
  
  <p>I thought about importing an html version of the report but I was wondering whether there is already a standard method for doing that before starting to reinvent the wheel.</p>
