Question: Is there a method to use Excel directly like an SE16 transaction? Answer: Yes, but you need to define more complex functions macros to manage selection of the data and to render the data in the appropriate format.

UPDATE (13/09/2007):
The function TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC is a good example to retrive data with this macros without implement ABAP (function or structure).
Take care that the function is not builded to retrive data. The function module is only intended for internal use in the ALE area see note 881127.
To read simply and short table you can use this function. But for more complex query, you can define a custom function that encapsulate that.
