Depends on the server.  On Apache 
you can use Perl/CGI or PHP scripts to run other scripts. 
 
But for something like Excel, I suggest you set up something along 
the line of remote desktops instead of just webpages or telnet. 
 
You might google for 'remote desktop' 'ssh' 'VNC' 'NX' and  
'NoMachine' for starters.
