Excel in sharepoint

Question

I'm shaing an excel file in sharepoint with my colleagues (office 365 subcription) and I want them to open it in desktop app not in the browser. The reason is that I want to hide the tab sheetstotally and this feature is allowed only in the desktop app not in the browser.

By default, when users click sharing link in the notification email, the file will open in the browser.

You will have to manually create a sharing link in below format.

The link will open in the browser directly:
https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site1/Shared%20Documents/excel1.xlsx

This link will prompt user to open in the client application:
ms-excel:ofe|u|https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site1/Shared%20Documents/excel1.xlsx
