Imported Excel table was not left as a local query

Hi walkra 

your scenario: you connect to an excel file on local computer, but the uses comsume your report in another computer,

SteveCampbell's suggestion maybe a workaround for your scenario, in addition,

1.

If the users need to modify reports based on your data, (he has the permission to the original data),

Please share the excel file to the user, the user just need to replace the file path with his.

open Edit queries_>Advanced editor, replace the excel file path.

2.

If the users have no permission to the original data, they are just viewers, your report needs to update data when new data is added in data source.

please publish your report from Power BI Desktop to Service, 

then download and install the on-premise gateway, configure schedule refresh for the dataset,

then share the reports to users.
