You really didn't give a good description, so I'll give it a shot. It's crude, but it will work (in most cases).

set colsep ,
Spool to a file ending in .csv
select * from your table
spool off
Double clicking the file will open it in excel.

You should user varchar2 and not char for your datatypes.

Oracle does NOT know how to write directly to Excel sheet.
Oracle can write text file either in CSV or XML format that Excel knows how to import

However their are free packages that will generate native xlsx files. See the following link
