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.
