CSV != spreadsheet. You can export to CSV using COPY or \copy in psql
and then import those into a spreadsheet. If you want something that
creates an xls(x) file directly then that is going to require a third
party software. I use Python for doing stuff like that. Some programs I
use are:

Pandas
http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/io.html

XlsxWriter
http://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/

csvkit
http://csvkit.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.2/

FYI, csvkit is a collection of command line tools, so it just needs
Python to be installed.
