This is probably ASP.NET, not "ASP" (ASP.NET is not ASP). It is not required unless you use Office interop or automation, which is not recommended by Microsoft in server settings.
And better don't consider Excel as database...

Alternatively, you could use ODBC to read the file:

Solution 2

Its depend upon a code you used to read excel file, If you have use OLEDB object to read excel file then there is no need to install EXCEL application otherwise if you have use COM INTEOP object to read EXCEL then installation is mandatory.
