Embedded public sharepoint excel sheet promps sharepoint sign-in
After setting all global and local settings to allow for anyone to view files, and even allowing unregistered devices, and after using a sharepoint embed link that is set to "anyone can view", it still prompts for the viewer to sign in to view the content.
If I use the raw link itself in an inprivate window, it displays just fine. For some reason the embedded link doesn't work? Someone suggested something about iframe being the issue, but I don't think it's even possible to embed an excel spreadsheet without it. Very frustrating. I even spent a half hour on the phone with tech support and her consensus was that all the permissions were set correctly but something is clearly not working.

Also, did you follow all the steps mentioned in this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/embed-your-excel-workbook-on-your-web-page-or-blog-from-sharepoint-or-onedrive-for-business-7af74ce6-e8a0-48ac-ba3b-a1dd627b7773?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us
Bharath Arja yes on both counts. I think it has to do with x-frame headers as was explained to me, and I've come up with a workaround for my purposes, but despite several hours of work from the tech support team, users here, and myself, it does not seem possible to embed it without requiring sign-in and have it work on Microsoft 11/mobile browser (the bulk of my userbase) without issue.
No one?
