OutOfMemoryException error occurred while processing large files using Trados

Hello Team,

I'm working with an Excel file containing 1,000,000 words in Trados and need to lock repeated segments.
However, whenever I try to lock segments or save the file, I encounter an OutOfMemoryException error.

I believe this is due to the large file size,
and splitting it isn’t an option since we need to lock repeated segments within the same file.

Is there a solution for handling large files in this case?

My computer specifications are: SSD + 16GB RAM

Error dialog box in Trados Studio displaying 'Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.' with an OK button.

    I think your file is simply too large for Trados.  Maybe split the Excel anyway, but use the "Export frequent segments" option to create a file that contains the segments you would lock.  Then create a TM from these segments, pre-translate the project against this TM only, then use the SDLXLIFF Toolkit to lock all the translated segments.  You can do this across multiple files so that could work.  A bit of a pain, but your file is really too large:
