Excel File Won't Upload or Analyze
Common causes when a workbook won't upload or analyze, and what to check first — file size, format, and sheet size.
Last updated August 13, 2026
A few things to check if a workbook will not upload or analyze:
- File size and type: Excel Studio accepts standard spreadsheet formats within the size limit shown on the upload screen
- Very large sheets: analysis is bounded to a large-but-finite number of rows for performance -- an extremely large sheet is still uploaded and viewable, but analysis works on a bounded sample
- Formatting: heavily merged cells or unusual custom formats can occasionally affect how a sheet is read
If an upload consistently fails, contact support with the file size and format (not the file's actual content) so we can look into it.
