Whoops - sorry... I meant use "select field1,field2 into outfile '/somepath/somename.xls' from table1 where this=that;"
Select into outfile is explained here http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SELECT.html Please don't use mysqldump - that was my mistake (writing two emails at once - sorry!)

Alternatively (if you want to get a bit more involved) there is a perl module you could use called Spreadsheet::WriteExcel which will allow you to render a generic excel spreadsheet with query results and whatever formatting/formulas you want in the spreadsheet too. Hope this helps..
