Its not an elegant solution but this will work. (Had to do this at my other job).

Turn off the excel option for everyone that does not need it for every report.

Offer a link in the report output that essentially re-runs the report in an XLS format.  The information on how to build the links is in the SDK User Guide.  We had to pursue this option since 90 percent of the user population did not have excel but was a bit click happy.
