Please EaseUp. Of course immediate replies are appreciated, but there's no need to say it out loud.

In Excel you can save directly to an XML format. Not sure how your Excel files are being used, but if macros are an option, you could explore that approach.

Koen's right: Excel itself is probably the way to go. Anything else will be a 90% solution at best; and a Java-based one will almost certainly require you learning 3rd party libraries such as Apache POI or (probably better, but also more work) OpenOffice.
