That can be imported into excel using CSV and using TAB as separator.
You can use the --xml option to the mysql command to get xnl output. You
can also get a tab-delimited output file that can be read into Excel (this
is what I usually do).
To get a tab-delimited file, you can use the --tab option of mysqldump or
start up the mysql program with the -sss option and

A command to convert the table mytab in database mydb into a tab-delimited
file mytab.txt might be:
mysql -e'select * from mydb.mytab' -sss mytab.txt
The -sss is necessary to remove all the formatting stuff that you normally
have in the output of a select statement.

Doesn't that depend on how often you want to do it? If it's a one-time
thing or an occasional thing, it's easier to just dump the table into a
tab-delimited file. If it's something you want to do on a regular basis,
ODBC is a way you might prefer to go.
But it also would require you to have the
