Just create a hyperlink to the file. That's the easiest way.

Display how? As an icon? As an embedded Excel sheet? As a rdl report? You need to be way more clear on what you want and where you are stuck.

Is the File() ActionResult not working?

Ah. You need an iframe then, and the viewing browser needs to have some sort of xls/xlsx plugin installed and running.

PDF plugins are way more common, if you don't have any operational control over the user environment then there's no way to consistently do this with xls. You could add a link to a plugin with the suggestion I suppose.

I'd still stick with PDF for a generated report.
