If you write it to a text file, the file can be written to while it is open. (I know this works cause I had the same proble you have.)

Then you can go into Excel and Import the data to the spreadsheet. You also have the option to refresh the data every time you open the Excel file.

Open a blank Excel file, click Data -> Get External Data -> Import Text File...
