No, there are no such published services. You can write them yourself
pretty easily by putting a copy of Office on a server and writing a Web
service that accesses Excel's automation interfaces through the interop
assemblies that get installed with Office when you select the .NET
Programming [0] on the installer.
There may be some concurrency issues you may have to manage [1], I am
not sure if Excel has those particular problems.

Subject: Microsoft webswervices : Office
Hi all,
I have couple of questions on MS Webservices :
Do they have some published webservices : Like a webservice to convert
an excel or .mpp into xml ?
If yes where to locate them and how to call them ?
If no what can be a possible solution to implement private webservice
to do
this work ?
Any assitence on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and cheers,
Sonia.
