Hi guys, check out the new ArcExcel add-in that Justin have developed for exporting attribute table (or selected fields) from ArcGIS to Excel. It is very simple and really fast compared to the traditional methods. It also gives you an option to save files as .xlsx as well as .xls formats.
You can download the zip file from the link below:
