I have a large binary file (20mb) . When trying to reference another workbook in formula, excel won’t recognize the other workbook. Any fixes? I’ve been trying to reduce size

If turning the file into a binary format doesn’t work the only thing I can think of: Is the other open workbook part of another Excel application instance? I.e. do you see two Excel icons on your task bar at the bottom of the screen? Only asking because this happens infrequently, but different Excel instances can’t talk to each other.
