Using XML to create Excel Spreadsheets

I'm using an XML header to create a microsoft excel spreadsheet based on an SQL database. It works, but I want to know if there is a way I can implement conditional formatting and other functions. I'm also kind of new at this so any XML to Excel Spreadsheets websites would be helpful. Here's the code I have so far but the formatting part doesn't work:

<xml>
<html xmlns

="urn:schemas-microsoft-com

ffice

ffice"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com

ffice:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<x:ExcelWorkbook>
<x:ExcelWorksheets>
<x:ExcelWorksheet>
<x:Name>Ryan Spreadsheet</x:Name>
<x:WorksheetOptions>
<x:ConditionalFormatting>
<x:Range>R1:R65550</x:Range>
<x:Condition>
<x:Formula>=MOD(ROW(),2)=0</x:Formula>
<x:Format Style='background:#CCCCFF;mso-pattern:none'/>
<x:/Condition>
<x:/ConditionalFormatting>
<x:Selected/>
</x:WorksheetOptions>
</x:ExcelWorksheet>
</x:ExcelWorksheets>

<style>
<!--table
{mso-displayed-decimal-separator:"\.";
mso-displayed-thousand-separator:"\,";}
@page
{mso-header-data:&A;
mso-footer-data:"Page &P";
margin:1.0in .75in 1.0in .75in;
mso-header-margin:.5in;
mso-footer-margin:.5in;}
tr
{mso-height-source:auto;}

.xheader
{background:#CCCCCC;mso-pattern:none;
font-weight:900;}
col
{mso-width-source:auto;}
br
{mso-data-placement:same-cell;}
.style0
{mso-number-format:General;
text-align:general;
vertical-align:bottom;
white-space:nowrap;
mso-rotate:0;
mso-background-source:auto;
mso-pattern:auto;
color:windowtext;
font-size:10.0pt;
font-weight:400;
font-style:normal;
text-decoration:none;
font-family:Arial;
mso-generic-font-family:auto;
mso-font-charset:0;
border:none;
mso-protection:locked visible;
mso-style-name:Normal;
mso-style-id:0;}
td
{mso-style-parent:style0;
padding-top:1px;
padding-right:1px;
padding-left:1px;
mso-ignore

adding;
color:windowtext;
font-size:10.0pt;
font-weight:400;
font-style:normal;
text-decoration:none;
font-family:Arial;
mso-generic-font-family:auto;
mso-font-charset:0;
mso-number-format:General;
text-align:general;
vertical-align:bottom;
border:none;
mso-background-source:auto;
mso-pattern:auto;
mso-protection:locked visible;
white-space:nowrap;
mso-rotate:0;}
-->
</style>
</head>

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Straight from the horse's mouth

at The Microsoft Office site there is a great reference list of all the supported features and an example using SQL as the source which can obviously be easily adapted to any source.
