Yes, Excel is a spreadsheet which enables mathematical and statistical calculations so you would be able to automatically sum numerical data or count non–numerical data. Excel is also capable of generating charts and graphs linked to data files which allows for automatic updating when changes are made to a data file.
For information on how to include Endnote field names as column headers in the Excel spreadsheet refer to this thread.
