Ask HN: Turn an Excel file directly into an API server

[reactjavascript]

I have an Excel file and I want to turn it directly into a server. It would provide GET and SET requests for a given (sheet name, row, column). The sheet has many formulas and the server would recalculate as needed after each SET command. Is there a way to do this?

Can you use Google Sheets? There a plethora of solutions to turn a Google Sheet into an API. The Google sheet will update automatically on it's own.
