The project page lists 1.7 as the compatible PHPExcel version. I see a stable 1.8 was released earlier this month and is now available at http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/

With 9 months between versions, I'd prefer to use 1.8 but was wondering if that would be supported by this module.

I tried 1.8.0, and it is working fine here, both reading and writing. The writer is over 10% faster.

"The version of the PHPExcel library could not be detected."

This is what it seems to be looking for:

* @version    ##VERSION##, ##DATE##

Which, of course, is of no value.

I changed that line to 

* @version 1.8.0

and it seems to be working.

first , modify changelog.txt

* @version 1.8.1

then it maybe can modify like this:

change the phpexcel.module file:

'version arguments' => array(
'file' => 'changelog.txt',
'pattern' => "/@version\s+([0-9\.]+)/",
'lines' => 25,

to 

'version arguments' => array(
'file' => 'changelog.txt',
'pattern' => "/@version\s+([0-9\.]+)/",
'lines' => 255,

it worked for me

I never tested it with 1.8.0 before, but the module itself doesn't check the version. Only Libraries requires a version number, but PHPExcel will basically accept any version number as long as it starts with a numerical character (0-9).

I just ran the test suite against 1.8.0 and it works fine indeed. I updated the module page.
