TECHNIQUES FOR SUPPORTING REMOTE MICRO-SERVICES AS NATIVE FUNCTIONS IN SPREADSHEET APPLICATIONS

摘要

The techniques described herein facilitate supporting remote micro-services from cloud-based analytics platforms as native functions in spreadsheet applications, e.g., Microsoft Excel®. In an implementation, a method of supporting remote micro-services as native functions in a spreadsheet application is disclosed. The method includes accessing a listing identifying at least one micro-service that is available for use by a user of a spreadsheet application. The at least one micro-service is remotely located in a cloud service platform. The method further includes obtaining a schema associated with the at least one remote micro-service, generating a translation model based on the schema, and registering the skeleton spreadsheet function as a native function in the spreadsheet application. The translation model maps between the at least one remote micro-service and a skeleton spreadsheet function.
