Try out with
SELECT column1, column1, column1 from tablename INTO OUTFILE "path/CSV/tablename.xls" FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY "\n" <br>
refer http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html

I think the easiest way is ODBC. You can download the ODBC driver for MySQL (if you don't have it already). Then, once inside Excel, you can go to "Data-> Obtain external data" (the name and location of the menu items may vary) and pick or create a data source.

If your server is also your client machine you can do
select * from table1 into outfile 'c:/path/outfile.csv'
(Note the use of forward slashes even on Windows)
If your server is a remote machine, make sure your have the MySQL client software installed on the client machine and do:
mysql -e "SELECT * from table1" > file_name
You can then open the csv file in Excel.

Install Connector/ODBC
Create an ODBC DSN
(Control Panel / Administration / ODBC
if on Windows)
Import data using Microsoft Query
(Data / External Data / From Other Sources / Microsoft Query
in Excel 2007
)
