Good day!

Clean install Windows 10 Pro 64bit

Intel i7-4770 @ 3.40GHz

24 GB Memory

I'm getting this error every time I do input data on excel (blank/new spreadsheet).

Microsoft Excel 2016 64bit error;

There isn't enough memory to complete this action.

Try using less data or closing other applications.

To increase memory availability, consider:

  • Using a 64-bit version of Microsoft Excel.
  • Adding memory to your device

Thank you!

    Hi @glennyboy ,
    Did you use 32-bit version of Office?
    Did this problem only appear in specific Excel Workbook or all Workbooks?
    Where did you save the Workbooks?
    I suggest you try to run Excel as an administrator and test if this problem still existed.
