I am wanting to display an excel file on the web and allow it to be
editable and be able to be saved online through the web.

Any way to do this?
thanks.

I doubt that this is possible because the Excel file is downloaded and the
local copy is presented for editing. However, you may want to transform the
data from the Excel sheet to an editable Web page (either by writing HTML
code directly or by using ASP.NET's controls) and save the changes to the
Excel file on the server when a postback occurs. However, note that
automating Office on the server-side is not a supported scenario.
