Large operation error!

Anonymous

Data is approximately 75K lines of data.  Using no macros or formulas.  Have created two pivot tables. 

Get to a point in editing the file where I receive a large operation message indicating the operation includes a large number of cells and to make a smaller selection.  This is followed by an error indicating the task cannot be completed with available resources.  I may only have selected one row and Excel may be the only program open.  Makes no difference.

I've run diagnostics and have also tried using the open and and repair option.  The pc was only issued (work) about 10 days ago.

    Also create a new test file, perform the same operations and verify the status.
