NiFi on contains components for reading XLXS files and converting them to CSV.  There are no native components included with NiFi that can convert the other direction.

That being said, NiFi offers numerous processors that allow you to execute your own scripts or external commands against the content of a NiFi FlowFile.

Here is an example where someone converted from CSV to Excel by passing the FlowFile content to an externally executed python script:

I'd love to help, but I have never done any scripting to convert to excel format.  All I can tell you is there is no native processor available in NiFi that does this conversion.

I'd recommend raising a new feature request jira in apache for NiFi:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NIFI/issues/

Perhaps others in the community may be looking for the same capability who are willing to contribute code?

Thanks,

Matt
