I'm looking for a way to publish an Excel workbook (single sheet in case that matters) where to user enters a number in up to each of 40 cells and then clicks on a 'run macro' button to ask the sheet to compute the response. Can you do that with your add-in? I am reading that workbooks with macros cannot be run within a website. :(
If not I could maybe re-work using SQL but it would not be as good. Your references to working with SQL, would that be T-SQL or MySQL?
You are correct, the plugin can only pull the data from the Spreadsheet, but you wouldn't be able to include macros, or edit those tables, since they can only link to the Spreadsheet.
You could use MySQL, but writing custom queries is not included in the provided support for the plugin, so we wouldn't be able to help you with that.
Also note that variables and stored queries are not supported, so if you're having issues with that you could create MySQL views in the database and pull them with simple query:
