Yes, it's possible to do this in a basic way without doing any programming:

  • Ensure your Google Spreadsheet has been "Published to Web"
  • In Excel, go to the Data tab and choose to create a new web query "From Web" − paste the link that would have been copied to your clipboard when you published Google's sheet

Your Google sheet will now appear inside Excel.
