What is new feature of Excel online (part of office online server) vs excel services?
I read some article like excel web apps vs excel services but i cant find some article to compare Excel Online and excel services
Excel Online is a newer version of Excel web app, but it's not available on premise, only in the cloud. It has limitations compared to desktop Excel, but Excel Online is continually updated with new features, whereas Excel web app on your local server will only get updates if there is a service pack or similar. Excel Online integrates seamlessly with Office 365 and SharePoint online.
Excel Online, for example, supports simultaneous editing by multiple users.
Update: In November 2016, the on-premise version of Excel Services received significant step change in SharePoint Server 2016. Office Online can now run on-premise. Details: https://blogs.office.com/2016/11/21/updates-for-excel-services-and-bi-in-sharepoint-2016-on-premises/

My custom Office Excel add-in does not work in my DEV environment (1) with the following three VMs.
Proper DEV on-prem environment:
AD Domain Controller
SharePoint 2016 on-prem
Office Online Server (updated November 2018)
OOS works as I can open Office docs in the browser. Both SharePoint and OOS run on http.
Online environment (just to test add-in itself):
I have tested the same - sample Excel add-in generated by Yeoman - in different environment too: O365 and SharePoint Online (developer tenant). It works, manifest is added to Apps for Office in AppCatalog and server works on https://localhost. I can see task pane of add-in in the browser. I can also debug both: desktop and web.
The same add-in (with server running on https://localhost) which works in online environment (2), does not work in DEV environment (1). It does not work when I upload XML manifest to AppCatalog, and it does not work when I try to debug generated add-in too.
I saw Excel add-in working in Internet Explorer on environment also with SharePoint 2016 and Office Online Server (/Office Web Apps). However, I do not have more details about that environment and how this add-in has been installed.
I have written a small officeJS addin for excel which run perfectly on desktop excel client. Also office online from onedrive gives an option of installing the addin from the ribbon menu. I want to use this officeJS addin to run on either of the following configuration:
On premise office online server configured with on premise
sharepoint server.
On premise office online server with my own
implementation of wopi host.
How to deploy an officeJS addin on office online on premise server which is preferably managed centrally by the administrator.
Also why is the add-ins option is not available on the office online configured with sharepoint, pfa image:
office online onedrive v/s office online onprem with sharepoint
Thank You
The Office Online Server currently doesn't enable Office store by default. As part of the configuration, you'd have to enable it. I'm not 100% sure about the exact setting. It may be this: set the AllowExternalMarketplace flag to true.

Try this. On a server in the farm, open the SharePoint Management Shell (PowerShell). Run this command:
Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm - OfficeAddinEnabled:$true
You probably have to be logged in as a farm administrator.
There is some documentation here: Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm
I've tried to connect with Tableau Desktop using Web Data Connector to a an Excel file on OneDrive / Excel Online / Office 365. Even if this seems to be possible with Google Spreadsheets http://community.tableau.com/groups/dev-community/blog/2015/04/04/google-spreadsheet-with-tableau-web-data-connector, I can't seem to make it work with Excel Online. Using the Web Data Connector I can get to the online spreadsheet but it won't do the data connection... any ideas?
You can connect to any Excel file that is stored in SharePoint or Office 365 / OneDrive for Business via OData as shown here:

You can process the returning XML by yourself, or using the tool.
I have a Development Project in motion where the end user interacts with an MVC Application to input data into it, then it gets submitted to SQL Server. Straightforward as it is really. Then the data is used to produce a PDF Report.
I want to use SharePoint to pull the data from SQL Server to create a .DOCX and integrate Microsoft office word 2010 to edit the document and publish as a .PDF
The MVC Application, Not a problem. ITs SharePoint Integration with Microsoft Word I'm not familiar with. SharePoint itself yes. Integration and Automation with Office Business Applications, no really.
Can anybody point me into the direction of good solid resources online into Office Integration?
Im using Sharepoint Server standard 2010 so One Word Automation is out...
I had Office 2003 & Dashboard Designer installed. I was creating a bunch of reports in dashboard designer that started by creating a data source using Microsoft's Data Retrieval Services to connect to a SharePoint list.
I installed Office 2007 and I no longer can create a data source using Data Retrieval Services. I reinstalled Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components, but I still do not have the option to create a report based on a data source pointing to a SharePoint list.
Do I need to install Excel 2003 or something?
I installed Excel 2003 side-by-side with Office 2007 and I can now use Data Retrieval Services again.
