Microsoft Excel API
The Microsoft Excel API is a set of programming interfaces that allows developers to interact with Excel data and functionality programmatically, enabling automation, data manipulation, and integration with other applications. It provides access to workbooks, worksheets, ranges, charts, and formulas through REST APIs or client libraries, supporting operations like reading, writing, updating, and analyzing spreadsheet data without manual intervention. This API is part of the Microsoft Graph ecosystem, facilitating seamless integration with Office 365 and other Microsoft services.
Developers should learn the Microsoft Excel API when building applications that require automated data processing, reporting, or integration with Excel files, such as in business intelligence, financial analysis, or data migration tools. It is particularly useful for scenarios where real-time data updates, batch operations on spreadsheets, or embedding Excel functionality into web or mobile apps are needed, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency in enterprise environments.
