Import files from Office - Limit size
BesvartHello, i´m trying to import an Excel file but there is an error. What is the maximum size allowed for importing an excel file?
-
Hello Catalina!
The max size is 16MB. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
0Is the limit still 16MB? I have imported an Excel file that is 4.3MB and it is not converted to a Workiva spreadsheet, it stays as an Excel spreadsheet and I cannot link it.
Can you please help me :)
0Hi Christophe!
Welcome to the Community. The short answer is yes, the max for XLSX imports is 16 MB. That said, our engineers are actively looking into expanding that limit. I'd be happy to add you as a requestor there and keep you apprised.
In the meantime, give us a holler if you have any additional questions. Thanks and have a great day!
0Hi,
Please can you share the max size on all file types for importing, namely: spreadsheets, documents and presentations.
Many thanks,
Lisa
0Hi Lisa!
You betcha. Here are the max import file sizes for each file type in Workiva:
Import File Size Limits
- - Documents (.DOCX) —
32 MB - - Presentations (.PPTX) —
32 MB - - Spreadsheets (.XLSX) —
16 MB
These limits apply when uploading or importing Microsoft Office files into the Workiva platform. If you need to bring in larger spreadsheet data, Wdata is recommended as it can handle bigger datasets.0Thanks Mike, this is very helpful :)
And just to confirm, the max size of an attachment is 100MB (e.g.: when attaching a file to a test form or audit form)
Many thanks!
0You bet, Lisa!
And in regards to the attachment limit, its a bit of a yes / no. The 100 MB limit relates specifically for opening an attachment in the evidence viewer, not the upload limit itself. Upload limits for attachments is actually 500 MB.
Other Notes:
- Population files (for random sampling): max10 MB, up to 50,000 rows
- Sample evidence files: recommended under100 MB
- Local File Sync & Office Online do not support files over100 MB
- Attachment zip exports should not exceed4 GBHope that helps. Let me know if you do have any follow-ups.0
