Is is possible to replace some characters within an Excel file that is present in Azure blob storage via powershell without downloading the Excel file?
As we were thinking to call it in Azure Function which is a serverless offering

    You could look at the append blob operations.

    If you just want to store a simple table, try Table Storage which would be a better fit for it :).
