• Why not use xlsx npm package? – Maher Fattouh Commented Feb 8, 2017 at 12:49
• What you are creating is a TSV (tab-separated values) file. If you want to write xls, xlsx use a node module to do it. E.g. json2xls, node-xlsx, xlsx – Sangharsh Commented Feb 8, 2017 at 12:50
• You're writing it as a text. Excel files have a different header, style and formating info and many more things that you need to take care of. The easiest way is to use a node module that take care of all of that. Just search in npm website – Maher Fattouh Commented Feb 8, 2017 at 12:52

To work with XLS files, see:

• https://www.npmjs./package/node-xls
• https://www.npmjs./package/xlsx
• https://www.npmjs./browse/keyword/xls

But looking at your code you seem to be working with TSV data and not XLS. See:

• https://www.npmjs./package/csv
• https://www.npmjs./package/tsv
• https://www.npmjs./browse/keyword/csv
• https://www.npmjs./browse/keyword/tsv

Note that TSV is the same as CSV with the only difference being the delimiter.
