Talking of the new share links to Sheet views on the Excel web, Vinay, Excel’s Product Manager added: 

We’ve heard from many of you who are regularly using Sheet views that you’d like the ability to quickly bring others’ focus to the information that needs attention. To address this request, we’re enabling you to share a link to a Sheet view that captures a subset of a workbook’s contents.

The company further mentioned that the feature allows you to efficiently collaborate on large or complicated workbooks. It makes it easier for you to receive feedback and input from your team members.
