Load using link for mobile app?

Sent a link to Excel sheet -- get message it's >30 MB limit to open in browser.   Installed BI Desktop to hopefully get access...is there any way to use that link to open the file on the desktop?

Hi dpb,

 

1. Open the file in Excel.

Load_using_link_for_mobile_app1

2. Get the link from the Excel. 

Load_using_link_for_mobile_app2

3. Get data with Web connector. (Delete the part followed "xlsx").

Load_using_link_for_mobile_app3

 

 

Best Regards,

Dale

    Well, if I could open the file in Excel, I wouldn't have a problem would I?  :)

     

    The whole point is the file was shared and that's the link that was forwarded.  Now mayhaps the sender screwed up, I don't know...
