Hi Daphne,

Thanks for your response. The error message is attached.  I found another article that informed me the limit for Excel spreadsheet files is 5GB and mine is 6.25GB so that seems to be the problem.  Since this is a document I share, I'm working with my collaborator to see if we can resolve it otherwise we might just move it to Google Drive.

Thanks!
