Default A specific Excel file crash when try to save

I have Excel file in binary format in a local folder (see this link: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.). When I want to save (save as) this file, it keeps crashing. I have searched the internet and tried all the remedies mentioned in it.( open and repair, changing the file name, changing the file extension, opening Excel in safe mode and …) with no success. Can you guide me on this issue?

I'm getting a message that says the file can't be opened because it's greater than 25MB.

Hi,

If you have tried all of the usual remedies for a corrupt Excel file and it still keeps crashing when you try to save it, here are a few additional things you can try:
  • Disable any antivirus or anti-malware software that may be running on your computer. Sometimes, these programs can interfere with the file saving process.
  • Try to save the file to a different location, such as an external hard drive or cloud storage service. This can help determine if the issue is with the file itself or with the location where you are trying to save it.
  • If you have access to another computer, try opening and saving the file on that computer. If the file saves successfully, it may indicate that there is a problem with the Excel installation or configuration on your original computer.
  • Consider using a file recovery tool to extract the data from the corrupt file. There are several file recovery tools available online that can help recover data from corrupt Excel files, such as Stellar Repair for Excel or Kernel Excel Repair.

Best Regards.

By zipping the excel file, I realize a specific sheet has an unusual large size and I deleted this sheet and it caused the file size to reduce dramatically. Then, I recovered the excel file by recovery online tool (maybe for the large file size, these tools do not worked previously.) and now the problem is solved. Thank you very much for your constructive answers.(it should be said the original file (the one with large size )can be opened in my computer an in the past I don’t have this problem although the file size was as large as the moment and it appeared suddenly with this file, so I don’t think the large file size was the root of the problem)
