You can browse on npmjs.org to find a package that helps you in it.
For example:

Create excel file from data in csv file with node.js

I am developing MEAN stack application. I get data from a .csv file. Then I need to convert excel file and put the data from .csv file in excel file. This is achievable with multiple npm packages.

Options for Parsing Excel Files in ExtJS

I'm having a very hard time accomplishing my main goal: extracting data from an xlsx excel file
I'm running ExtJS + node.js, and I see two options:
Use this XLSX.js framework to convert the base64 string into js object-representations of xlsx worksheets for me to use. Problem is, I have no idea how to get a base64 string from an xlsx file..
Upload the xlsx file to the server, do the conversions there using node-xlsx, the send the object-representations back ala json. Having lots of difficulties here since ExtJS doesn't use real AJAX for file uploads so I don't know how to send the results back..
Has anyone had experience with this or could advise a solution? Having lots of trouble..
Number two is going to be the better option IMO. You can take a look at the FileUploadField control - there is a good example on submitting the Form that will upload the file to the server: http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.1/#!/api/Ext.form.field.File
From there you can parse and return the json.
Since we struggled with exactly the same issue, we created a front-end XLS(X) and CSV import and export tool that you can use in ExtJS 4 applications with a few lines of code. The user just drags the file on the grid and done. We just launched it, here is a description of the problematic in dealing with files and the solution: http://2gears.com/2014/08/ext-js-excel-import-export-easy/
Hope it helps.

CakePHP 2.1 excel file export and import to database

I am using cakephp 2.1 and developing an application which needed more data. I want to use excel file for import and export. Please suggest me some solutions to get it done.
Use Microsoft's "CSV for Excel" for importing data. It's the same as a generic CSV but then with different delimiters. If you want to create complex Excel sheets, then you should use something like PHPExcell.
The -1 on your question is for asking it wrongly. A quick Google Search would yield the same result as me typing this in...
