Need specific columns in a log file as excel.

Hi All...
I am in need of few columns from a log file.. in .xls file... below is what i have tried.

my log file has 16 colums with " ; " as delimiter, but i need randomn columns 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 11 16 in an excel.

I tried to awk the columns with delimiter ; and it worked, below is the log after awk.

Code:
awk -F'; ' '{ print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$10,$11,$13,$16 }' Report.log


Code:

Now i need this in an excel... I tried tr command but did not work, i am unable to understand the delimiter ... tried with /t but dint help.. please suggest...

Here data in columns are
Code:
column 1: Sun Aug 10 00:02:05 2014
Column 2:  status
Column3: ACK
Column4 Administrator
Column5: admin
Count6: 0 
Column7: Sat Aug 09 23:53:20 2014
