Embed Excel Workbook From SharePoint
I'm attempting to embed an Excel workbook in a website from a SharePoint Online team site. I'm using the instructions posted here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Embed-your-Excel-workb...
I realize this thread is almost five years old, but I am having the same problem now (Nov 2021) and wonder if an easy fix has been discovered.
Using MS 365 Personal, I can store an Excel file in OneDrive, generate embed code, embed it on my website and it is viewable by everyone. I've switched to MS 365 Business and now the website displays a "Sign in to Sharepoint" graphic instead of the Excel file contents.
I've been on the phone with Microsoft three times totaling five hours and they can't figure it out either. All permissions in Sharepoint are set correctly. I can go to the "Classic Sharepoint" view and indicate the file should be viewable by "everyone". The LINK to the file works, but the iframe code apparently does not allow anyone to see the Excel file contents on the webpage unless they "Sign in to Sharepoint".
Any news/updates on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

The only way I've been able to do this and have it public facing with no password is using my personal OneDrive. I know it's not ideal but assuming you have that option, I would just go with that.
- Yes, thanks, I realize that is an option but, and I'm sure you'll agree, Microsoft just needs to fix this. I continue to have phone conversations with MS about it and they are mystified as to why it's not working. If it comes to it, I'm going to ask them to provide me with a (free) Personal account so this function works. (I know, "good luck with that.") I do appreciate your feedback.
- Quick update: Thanks. After working on this for two weeks, my MS Support rep contacted again this morning, this time letting me know he's basically giving up. He asked me to submit feedback to the article mentioned at the beginning of this thread. I have done what everyone else does, I've created a Personal Outlook account and use the OneDrive available through that account to host my files. Very frustrating and puzzling.
