This makes little to no sense to me.  Spreadsheets are for use in 
storing data, not for displaying the output of analyses.  (I know that 
Excel users do this sort of thing, but then people do all sorts of 
irrational things.)

(1) The best advice is still "*Don't*."

(2) You do not need Excel to make comparisons and report.  In fact it is 
a handicap.  Re-think your strategy.

(3) If you insist in proceeding in a wrong-headed manner, isn't the item 
about XLConnect (3rd answer, 1st hit) "useful"?
