Sortable/column dragable/Paginated datagrids dont have to be a pain at all with the right RIA framework (javascript/flash/silverlight). If they want editable data grids with various controls in the cells ExtJS (amongst others) is a really good choice. If they need excell's reporting/formula functionality there needs might just entail a PivotGrid with precompiled OLAP data, devexpress's pivotgrid goes even further and allows for a great deal of customization of the data on the client side. If you render a data grid where you can't do anything with the headers then yeah i wholeheartedly agree that a nicely formated list will feel way more finished to a client. If they want a real time editable pivotgrid then they really want to use excell in the browser. Depends on your definition of “excell like”.
