Hi,
Send the report in HTML and add a hyperlink in the report and render it for HTML output format and add the report url as a source that you find in report properties and rename the default text as 'here'
Good luck

thanks for replying. i do not want to send the report output as HTML.

There is specific business reason for that. We want to share output as attached excel output. Not we want to include report path link in body of it so that  in case some report users want to additionally play with report filters and run, they can open .

hope you understand. Thanks!

Hi
Attached report is the way we did it for a similar requirement. you have to schedule it to run it in both HTML and Excel. And need to hide a prompt from the users based on the group. Attached report has 2 pages and you can try doing it in one page.
I think you can you can also insert a link to a report using event studio and attaching the report output.

Good luck
