Communication from S7 300 series PLC directly to Excel

[p17061]

Hi,

I need to send some data directly from an S7-300 series PLC to another computer having excel. I will be communicating via ethernet. What programs are available to easily send data directly from the PLC to Excel? I have heard of S7 Ethernet communication server. Is this something that could be used?

Thanks for the help.
