Hi,

I have got a large workbook of 15 MB and only one of the worksheets, when I try to insert rows it gives an error of "there is not enough memory to complete the operation in excel". Any help will be much appreciated. I have checked this forum and none of the resolution has helped hence posting it in case anything I get to resolve this error.

Thank you.

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
It may be caused because of the large volume of the workbook, a lot of complex formulas in it, other more active files consuming a lot of RAM at the same time etc. See in task manager how much free RAM memory is available before and after opening that workbook.

This workaround I have tried already it is not working. Large volumes is there in all worksheets however only one of the worksheet is causing an issue. Not sure why,

Try to run it on another computer, and see how it works there. Or, extract it / make a separated copy of that file only and try to use it apart from the whole workbook. You could also upload a sample (e.g. via Dropbox), if includes no restricted data, for other members to see more clear where could be the issue.
