Add a sheet to an Excel file created with Notepad?

Sounds crazy, but a colleague told me one can make a spreadsheet from text data by using tab delineation instead of comma (CSV).  I have a circumstance it which it would be better to produce a tab separated file instead of CSV and then just rename it ".XLS".  I tried it, and it works just fine!  

However, I need to have more than one sheet in the Excel file.  Is there a command that I can put into the text file to cause the data that follows it to be on a new sheet?

I was afraid of that.  At least the TSV is more convenient for my purpose than CSV, which has the same limit.  Thanks Wayne.
