Check out the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). I've automated an excel spreadsheet to retrieve information from a database and perform automatic calculations/autoformat/etc. Eric Carter and Eric Lippert wrote a great book on it in the Microsoft .NET development series.

You can also use ODBC connections against Excel files or third party software like Aspose as well.
