Symptoms
When navigating through Microsoft Excel, you receive the error:
There is not enough memory. Please use the 64-bit version of Excel.
Cause
The memory error messages can be generic and don't always identify the real cause of the issue. However, if your file is large or contains a large number of features, it is possible you are running low on available memory resources.
It is good to understand Excel's limitations. See the following resources for more information:
- Excel specifications and limits
- Excel 2010 Performance: Performance and Limit Improvements
- Memory usage in the 32-bit edition of Excel 2013 and 2016
There are also several causes outside of resource limitations.
