I was not able to connect to MDS through Excel. Was getting an error message: The requested service, 'http://XYZ:8080/service/service.svc/bhb' could not be activated. See the server's diagnostic trace logs for more information.

I found this: https://www.codeproject.com/articles/1168354/master-data-services-insufficient-memory-error and then checked the event viewer and then found that this is happening because of insufficient memory.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15497296/iis-server-error-because-of-the-current-total-memory/54091239

Then restricted SQL Server to use 54 GB out of 64 GB and it was fixed
