If you have Excel 2002, from the format window, on the colors & lines tab,
click the dropdown for fill color. On the bottom is "fill effects". You
want a gradient, one color, horizontal shading style.

Not really, the version that I have doesn't offer the same "fade out"
effect as in the picture. Is there some plug-in that I have to
download?
