I would answer with "GIYF", but since it's you...
ABAP2XLSX is a community project hosted in the SAP Code Exchange. As such, it's completely free. The project home page is at https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/groups/abap2xlsx (if the URL survives being posted here, of course). It's installed via SAPLink - another great community project! - or via transports for the stable versions. Version 4 was just released as stable in the last 2 weeks.
I haven't used it in any projects yet myself, but the included demo programs show some real neat features. The actual code that creates the various spreadsheets in the demo programs is really light - seems almost easier than some of my own code to create .dat files! Some of the demos - each of which creates at least one file - are around 100 lines including comments.
Here's an example - this code (plus some data declarations and housekeeping) takes an internal table and downloads an Excel file. If ToolBox mangles it, you might want to read the message in a fixed-width font.
" Creates active sheet
create object lo_excel.
" Get active sheet
lo_worksheet = lo_excel->get_active_worksheet( ).
lo_worksheet->set_title( ip_title = 'Internal table').
data lt_test type table of sflight.
select * from sflight into table lt_test.
ls_table_settings-table_style = zcl_excel_table=>builtinstyle_medium2.
ls_table_settings-show_row_stripes = abap_true.
lo_worksheet->bind_table( ip_table = lt_test
is_table_settings = ls_table_settings ).
lo_worksheet->freeze_panes( ip_num_rows = 3 ). "freeze column headers when scrolling
column_dimension = lo_worksheet->get_column_dimension( ip_column = 'E' ).
column_dimension->set_width( ip_width = 11 ).
" Write to Excel 2007
create object lo_excel_writer type zcl_excel_writer_2007.
lv_file = lo_excel_writer->write_file( lo_excel ).
" Convert to binary
call function 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
exporting
buffer = lv_file
importing
output_length = lv_bytecount
tables
binary_tab = lt_file_tab.
" Save the file
cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download( exporting bin_filesize = lv_bytecount
filename = lv_full_path
filetype = 'BIN'
changing data_tab = lt_file_tab ).

Dave,
Have you tried it? If so, is it hard to use? Are there associated
expenses? Do tell...
