Sure, you have 2 options. One is Data Transformation Services (DTS) that specifically transfers data from any source (not just SQL Server) to another format (not just SQL Server) You can use it to export SQL Server data into either a CSV text file or directly into an Excel workbook file.

The other option is bcp, which only handles text files, but is very easy to use. It is a command line utility included with SQL Server.

Both of these are well documented in Books Online, and you can also search SQL Team for more information on them as well.
