csv can easily be swallowed by Excel as a data source.

I like the ODBC based query suggestion better.  I've configured Excel to accept user inputs via text input widgets and
passthem onto the query as params in the query predicate.  I found the "QueryEditor.xla" add-in very valuable in this
regardas it allows you to edit the sql query as text instead of their goofy and limited graphical editor which is often
notup to the task.

configure excel to use the postgres database as an ODBC 'data source'
and query it directly from your spreadsheet.
