From my tests you can stop the use of Analyse in Excel as follows - this is all using the NEW workspaces:

  1. Make sure the user does not have access to the workspace.
  2. When Publishing the App, make sure you untick the option "Allow all users to connect to the app's underlying datasets using the Build Permissions.
  3. Go to the Dataset Permisions (not the Workspace!!) and remove any permissions you can (e.g. reshare) - leaving only the "App" permission - it should just be "App" and not have "App (Build)". If App (Build) is still there you may have to track down and unpublish / re-publish any Apps - making sure the tick box as above is NOT ticked.

For me this then "greys out" the Analyse in Excel option.
