Wow that’s big workbook. Unfortunately we can’t open a workbook larger than 10MB. You’ll need to open this in Excel - Large workbook error in SharePoint Excel Services

While working with excel workbooks in SharePoint, I got an error saying that, “Wow that’s big workbook. Unfortunately we can’t open a workbook larger than 10MB. You’ll need to open this in Excel.”


After checking issues into deep, found that the reason for this error is the size of the workbook to be opened is larger than the maximum size of workbook. We can configure the maximum size in the excel services settings.

To change the value, Navigate to Application Management, select Manage Service Applications link.


Select Excel Service application to configure to configure maximum value.





















Click on Trusted File Locations in Manage excel service applications page



We’ll be navigated to Excel Services Application Trusted File Locations. Click on specific address we need to configure maximum size.



In Excel Services Application Edit Trusted File Location page, Workbook properties section, we have to specify the Maximum Workbook Size as per our need, click on OK 
button.
