Now that you have the `Url`, you can paste it into a browser to download the workbook.

[Click here to get the one I generated](https://powershell-azure-function-return-excel-file546f.azurewebsites.net/api/powershell-azure-function-return-excel-file), may take a bit, due to a cold start.

Or use the PowerShell `Invoke-RestMethod` to download the generated Excel file.

```powershell

$uri = 'https://powershell-azure-function-return-excel-file546f.azurewebsites.net/api/powershell-azure-function-return-excel-file'

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -OutFile .\SalesReport.xlsx
