gem install spreet

# Create a new document
doc = Spreet::Document.new
sheet = doc.sheets.add "My Sheet"

# Coordinates can be called with spreadsheet style...
sheet["A1"] = "Last name"
# ...or more classic style...
sheet[1,0] = "First name"
# ...or if necessary as a Hash
sheet[x: 2, y: 0] = "Born on"

sheet.next_row
for person in People.all
  sheet.row person.last_name, person.first_name, person.born_on
end

# Write it as a classic CSV
sheet.write("people-1.csv")
# Write it as a CSV for Excel
sheet.write("people-2.csv", :format=>:xcsv) # CSV for Excel
# or write it as an Open Document Spreadsheet
sheet.write("people-3.ods")
