Hi all

This could prove useful:

https://blogs.office.com/2016/08/03/announcing-the-general-availability-of-the-microsoft-excel-api-to-expand-the-power-of-office-365/

Notice the code examples here:

https://dev.office.com/code-samples#?filters=excel,office%20365%20app

This API grants you access to the on-line Excel "engine" at Office 365 from your application. Of course, to do so, it requires a subscription to Office 365.

Be confident, that you'll see much more along this line from Microsoft.

 That is a significant step forward.

 Thank you for the note, Gustav,

I have just tried to find a way to use this technology from C# via some SDKs - here is a sample VS 2015 (Update 1 +) solution:

Excel REST API Explorer ( https://github.com/microsoftgraph/uwp-csharp-excel-snippets-rest-sample ?)

Surprisingly is compiled well. No errors!
But it's a usual "behemoth sample" and when I have run it from within VS 2005 it has started well, logged in to my Office 365 Dev account but then it just has fallen when I have tried to upload a test workbook. Never mind, I haven't read any docs, I could have done something unexpected to this sample app.

If one "dives-in" into?ExcelRESTService.UWP.csproj. \Model subfoler) of this sample app they will find how the SDK wraps MS Excel REST API calls.
There is a also a unit tests project?ExcelRESTService.UnitTests.UWP.csproj within this sample solution.

Still, it would be useful to find/have something like a simple C# console application demonstrating how to use the MS Excel REST API and SDK to manipulate??a test workbook on the MS Office 365 web site.

Does anybody here have any links on such a sample app?

Thank you.
