If you are talking about writing Excel data files on the mainframe and then transferring them to a Windows server, then yes this can be done. The easy way to purchase one of the software products that do this. If your site uses SAS on the mainframe, another easy way is to use ODS to generate Excel data files within SAS and transfer them to the Windows server. The hard way is to get the Microsoft specifications for the Excel data file format (the last time I looked, several years ago, it was over 1,000 pages long) and write a program on the mainframe to input your flat file data and output an Excel data file for transfer to the Windows server.
