is it possible to use MS Excel for all CRUD operations on OData source? - excel

Question

I have the following OData Controller, which provides for all common CRUD operations:
public class ProductsController : ODataController
{
ApplicationDbContext db = new ApplicationDbContext();
private bool ProductExists(int key)
{
return db.Products.Any(p => p.Id == key);
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
db.Dispose();
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
[EnableQuery]
public IQueryable<Product> Get()
{
return db.Products;
}
[EnableQuery]
public SingleResult<Product> Get([FromODataUri] int key)
{
IQueryable<Product> result = db.Products.Where(p => p.Id == key);
return SingleResult.Create(result);
}
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Post(Product product)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
db.Products.Add(product);
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
return Created(product);
}
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Patch([FromODataUri] int key, Delta<Product> product)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
var entity = await db.Products.FindAsync(key);
if (entity == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
product.Patch(entity);
try
{
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
}
catch (DbUpdateConcurrencyException)
{
if (!ProductExists(key))
{
return NotFound();
}
else
{
throw;
}
}
return Updated(entity);
}
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Put([FromODataUri] int key, Product update)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
if (key != update.Id)
{
return BadRequest();
}
db.Entry(update).State = EntityState.Modified;
try
{
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
}
catch (DbUpdateConcurrencyException)
{
if (!ProductExists(key))
{
return NotFound();
}
else
{
throw;
}
}
return Updated(update);
}
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Delete([FromODataUri] int key)
{
var product = await db.Products.FindAsync(key);
if (product == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
db.Products.Remove(product);
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
return StatusCode(HttpStatusCode.NoContent);
}
}
Is it possible to use MS Excel's OData client capabilities to use Excel as a data management tool to perform addition, deletion, complete and partial updates of the data exposed via my controller?
