Excel Services
Reusable, web based Excel Reports
Excel Services is a new server technology included in Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server 2007. This shared service enables you to load,
calculate, and display Excel workbooks on Office SharePoint Server 2007.
Using Excel Services, you can easily reuse and share Excel workbooks
on Office SharePoint Server 2007 portals and dashboards. For example,
financial analysts, business planners, or engineers can create content
in Excel and share it with others by using an Office SharePoint Server
2007 portal and dashboard—without writing custom code. You can control
which data is displayed, and you can maintain a single version of your
Excel workbook. Using Excel Services, you can view live, interactive
workbooks using only a browser. This means you can save Excel workbooks
and interact with them from within portal sites for your Intranet or
Extranet.
You can also interact with workbooks to explore and pivot on data,
and analyze PivotTable reports and charts by using a browser. Excel
Services supports workbooks that are connected to external data sources.
You can embed connection strings to external data sources in the
workbook or save them centrally in a data connection library file.
