I just had a similar problem and post here: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/f9d8203a3acb0e8f#.
I solved the issue a few hours ago using this approach: http://www.dnamique.com/cakephp-export-data-to-excel-the-easy-way/. No helper needed. It was done in 15 minutes. I could not believe it. I was even able to access the action in CakePHP from a button on an ExtJS grid. I would highly recommend taking a look at this approach. It is the simplest approach I have found, and a very clear explanation. Hopefully it helps...
