Hey there,

Just to make this clear,

- are you uploading the excel file as an attachment to a column?
- or, are you trying to import the data inside the excel file to a table in nocodb?

If the second one is your intention, a good idea would be to divide the excel file data into smaller chunks and try to upload these files one by one individually.

Hope this helps.
