Salesforce: generating Excel files from VisualForce APEX pages

I have been working recently with Salesforce, and generating Excel files was not working for me.

It should have been as easy as changing the apex:page contentType property, but its output was like:

<table id="j_id0:j_id1" border="0" cellpadding="0"....

My problem was using

<apex:column>whatever</apex:column>.

Instead, you should use

<apex:column value="whatever" />

and it should work.

Hope this helps.
