    Hi, Asya Kırkaya

    I didn't encounter any problems when opening your file during testing, so I guess it might be the impact of your computer environment? :-)

    Are you using a third-party firewall? If so, you can try to turn it off.

    Then you can try to open Excel in safe mode (to rule out interference from third-party software):

    I hope the above information can help you. Feel free to send a message if you need further help.

    Best wishes
