I'm having an issue where if I hand out the web link to an Excel Workbook published to a Workspace, users (including me, the author) get a "Sorry, we couldn't find that Workbook" error.
Address looks like this:
If I navigate through the Workspace to the Report, it loads just fine. If I refresh the browser, the error pops up. The web address is the same every time... This of course does not happen with standard Power BI Reports.
I want people to be able to bookmark this link and not need to navigate through the Workspace.
Additional Test: I published it to the App and I'm able to refresh that link just fine, which looks more like below, however I prefer this report not be in the App and it shouldn't need to be either.
