The import external data is a good way to go.

What you need to do there is create an ODBC connection to

your database. usually you choose the same parameters for
your connection as you would do in TOAD.

You may use a tool like TOAD or PL/SQL Developer, that have
the facility to export to Excel.
Or you may connect the Excel to Oracle through ADO. In Excel
you have the querytable object, that may be quite useful.
Beware of the sheets limit of only 65536 rows. In an Oracle
table you may have millions of rows. So, you must filter and/or
aggregate for large tables.

What i have seen in toad is it export data in txt,sql and other
format but not in excel. Secondly i need option where i just
have to refresh the data by a single click like we do in "Import
external Data". I have used "import External Data" with sql but
never with Oracle. and when i am doing that it is asking for tool
MS Query? Doest it support MS excel 2000?

Use "+Connect to New Data Source" then choose "Oracle" in
the database connection wizard from Excel.
