I used Mp3 bookhelper for quite awhile, I would dump all the tags to comma
delimited file then edit the file and use the program to re-apply all the
tags.  Excel will open a csv and display as a spreadsheet.

The link is to the instructions for doing this.  The program is free. 
Here is a link to the main program page.

Good luck!

PS: There are more options is you google "export tags csv", but I've used
Bookhelper and it worked fine.
