Philip,
Basically there are three ways to get the Project Usage view information into Excel. The first is with a simple copy and paste. It's not elegant but it works. The second is as Julie suggested, via the Visual Reports. The third is with VBA. Personally I prefer VBA due to its total flexibility but if you are familiar with Excel pivot tables then Visual Reports may be a better choice.
