This should be possible with ODBC.

You can export data in CSV format, which excel can easily read, or you can
set up ODBC access and load data directly into excel via an odbc query.

Google "postgresql csv" for the first solution and "postgresql excel odbc"
for the second.  In both cases, the very first link has exactly the
information you are looking for.

I've used ODBC to generate Excel reports from PostgreSQL data in the past. It's 
fairly easy for simple queries. If your queries are complicated, you may have 
to execute them from a Visual Basic Macro. The MS query builder will try to 
check raw SQL and may reject your query because it's not that smart. In 
particular, I had trouble with stored procedures in my queries. If it is 
something that you plan on doing routinely, I would set up a macro and a 
keyboard shortcut or button so you can run the macro quickly and easily.

Seems to be an integration issue. I created a ticket to work on this
later. Sorry for the (really really) late answer.
