I am using an Excel template that contains formulas in a single row. These formulas are extended across the dataset using an attribute file. However, when generating the report, Excel displays the error message: “Excel ran out of resources while attempting to calculate one or more formulas. As a result, these formulas cannot be evaluated.”
Could you please help me understand which specific resource Excel is lacking? Additionally, what configurations or adjustments can be made to resolve this error?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Bajrang

Hello Bajrang,
Thank you for your question. To better assist you, I have broken down the support you need into two parts: understanding the error and making necessary configurations or adjustments. While I’m focused on providing information about Aspose’s offerings, I encourage you to consider Aspose.Cells for handling complex Excel tasks programmatically.
Understanding the Error
The error “Excel ran out of resources while attempting to calculate one or more formulas” typically indicates that the built-in Excel engine cannot manage complex or large-scale calculations in a spreadsheet due to insufficient memory. This could be a result of several factors:
- Complexity of Formulas: Using complex formulas that require considerable computation.
- Memory Capacity: Not having enough system memory.
- Large Data Sets: Working with an excessive number of rows and columns.
- Package Capacity: Too many formula calculations extending over multiple rows.
Configurations or Adjustments to Resolve the Error
Here are some possible solutions:
- Ensure that you have the latest updates and patches installed for Excel.
- Increase System Memory: Upgrading your system’s RAM may help.
- Simplify Formulas: Break down complex formulas into simpler components.
- Increment Calculation Capability: Instead of a single large calculation, limit the scope of calculations to sections of the workbook.
