    xlsb file keep crashing on opening

    I have created a file with charts and pivot tables using data pulling from a SharePoint list. I first created file in xlsm format, the file is now getting quite big, 6MB, I wanted to cut down the file size by saving it to xlsb format. The problem is when I open the newly save xlsb file, Excel just keep crashing. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    What is the size rows/columns of the source file (Sharepoint File)?

    Set the Calculation mode to manual and try to open the file.

    There are 2 SP table sources, it's only approx 70 columns by 1500 rows. So I beleive the size is not the cause.
    Tried set the file to manual calc before saving to xlsb, still the same problem. Excel crash on opening the xlsb file
