Hi,

Have you tried saving the file as .xlsb (binary) format? This format reduces the filesize with a big chunck. Functionality will remain as .xlsx.

Hi,

Based on your description there was only "OneDrive", I'm still not sure about your scenario. Is it OneDrive(Personal) or OneDrive for Business?

For OneDrive issues, I suggest you post the question in OneDrive forum:

If you are an Office 365 user, your file size limits are determined by your particular subscription to Office 365. If your subscription includes Power BI for Office 365, then youll be able to open, view, and interact with larger workbooks in a browser window than if you just had SharePoint Online:

If your Office 365 subscription includes

And the workbook is stored here

Then these file size limits apply to workbooks in a browser window

SharePoint Online

A library in a site such as a team site

0-10 MB

Power BI for Office 365

A library in a site such as a team site or in Power BI sites on Power BI for Office 365 (recommended)

0-250 MB

Important    When a workbook exceeds 30 MB in file size, it must be configured a certain way in order to display in a browser window. See Enable web viewing for a workbook in Power BI for Office 365 sites.

Outlook Web App

Attached to an email message

0-5 MB

If youre trying to open a workbook that is attached to an email message in Outlook Web App, a smaller file size limits applies. In this case, the workbook must be smaller than 5 MB to open in a browser window.

We can find more information from File size limits for workbooks in SharePoint Online.

You may also find this blog helpful, which introduces how to increase Excel Workbook Size from the 10 MB Limit on Office Web Apps 2013:http://blogs.technet.com/b/sammykailini/archive/2014/06/25/office-web-apps-2013-increase-excel-workbook-size-from-the-10-mb-limit.aspx

We can change the ExcelWorkbookSizeMax property to set the workbook size value.
