    Hi, 
    This issue looks like the Bug for Excel 2016 version 2210 (Build 15726.20174).
    So revert to Version 2209 (Build 15629.20208) and disable Office updates.

    1. Start an Office application (such as Excel), and then select File > Account. select Update Options > Disable Updates.
    2. Type cmd on the start menu, right click on the Command Prompt, choose Run as Administrator
    3. Copy/paste these two commands one at a time and press enter
    cd %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun
    officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.15629.20208

LukeFM Try looking for a crazy looking formula that was made by mistake. For instance, this formula by itself in a workbook will cause it to run out of resources. I had this in someone's Excel workbook that I had to look at today. I would just save some copies and delete sections until you find it. 

 

=+G152:RG141152:S152:QG152
