The error message indicates that the Oracle client is not installed on the local machine. You say the database is on a different machine (server). ODBC cannot access remote software: you need to install the Oracle client software on the PC where you want to use Excel.
The Oracle Instant Client should have everything you need. It's a lightweight install designed for just this scenario. Download it from OTN here.
