John, I don't know of a simple way to do that without writing some "glue" code.
However, I am using the SQL2Wiki extension (heavily modified) to maintain data
in MySQL (using MyPhpAdmin) and display it in MediaWiki.
Due to the possibility of SQL injection, I do not recommend this for open
wikis. I only have trusted users, plus I protect pages with SQL on them, and
restrict permissions to SELECT only on the user role that has access from
MediaWiki.
Although I don't use it, it is possible to automagically go MySQL <--> Excel
using Connector/ODBC.
Here's links to tons of example output:

You can get SQL2Wiki from the MediaWiki extensions, or I can send you my
heavily modified version, which I think is much better. :-)
