If you need a hosted service, I would use Google Sheets and write a custom Google Apps Script to transform data. Supports up to 2 million cells [1].

You could also use an Excel Web App and leverage the JS API or REST API via Excel Web Services [2].

For native Excel, I would look at DataNitro's Excel Add-in [3] for Python bindings. Similar to DataNitro, I wrote a JavaScript equivalent Excel Add-in that may be handy (contact me if interested).

Other helpful tools:

- Google Refine

- Google Fusion Tables [4]

- Tableau (doesn't render tabular/grid views)
