I am able to make an Excel spreadsheet open up in IE via ColdFusion. I would like to have to styles (CSS) that show up with it as an HTML output if it is Excel.

Is this possible?
 
You can use cfcontent to open an excel document but it just opens it inside IE like a full blown spreadsheet, not a table with styles. Using cfcontent is only going to help you if you need to open the spreadsheet if it resides on the server outside of the website. IE will open the spreadsheet automatically if the client has excel installed anyway (plain html link).

maybe if it was a .csv file you could loop and parse it... Maybe someone else has a better answer.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
