Error when saving Excel file

Question

Question: What can I do to resolve the error message "Error saving 'C:\Users\marce\Desktop\CRM - USO FINAL.xlsb'" that appears when I try to save my Excel file? I have attempted to save the file as .xlsx and .xlsm, as well as tried saving it in other folders, but the problem persists. I have also attempted to repair Microsoft 365, but with no success. I have attached a screenshot of the error message for reference.

Hi,

I'd suggest creating a backup before trying anything.

You can try the following methods to fix the issue:

1. Click on the "Continue" button. This allows Excel to attempt to repair the file and save it with potentially removed or repaired features.
2. If the error persists after the repair attempt, try saving the file with a different name.
3. Disable any add-ins that you have installed and try saving the file again.
4. If the error persists, you can try repairing the Excel installation. Open the Control Panel, go to "Programs and Features" (or "Add or Remove Programs"), locate Microsoft Office or Excel in the list of installed programs, right-click on it, and choose the repair option.

Also, refer to this article on How to fix Errors were detected while saving Excel .

Best Regards.
