Update:

 

Installed Power BI desktop and had her connect to the dataset via Get Data>Online Services>Power BI and she was able to access the dataset.

 

Seems to be some authentication issue with Excel and the Service.

 

There is a popup when she clicks Connect that quickly disappears and then another asks for her work or school ID. I'm thinking it may be some sort of stored cookie or token issue.
