I am trying to generate a excel sheet from a VF page. i am using 

contenttype="application/x-excel#filename.xls"

on the page tag. These work perfectly fine. I just need a way to have the filenames dynamically generated or a simple adding of todays datetime to the end of the filename.

Tried adding contenttype="application/x-excel#filename" +"{!todays}"+".xls"

and it didnt allow Any thoughts?
