Unable to Import or Retrieve Excel Data

[samlis-rgb]

I’m using Posit Cloud for my coursework and am experiencing repeated crashes when trying to upload and import a large Excel file (the BRFSS dataset).

Here’s what’s happening:

I successfully upload the Excel file to my project.

When I click “Import Dataset” and select the BRFSS file, the system starts to load, but then logs me out or restarts my session.

I’ve been able to upload and import smaller files without issues.

This behavior occurs even when I try in a new project.

I’ve confirmed the file is in my project directory and tried different browsers. I also used the downloaded R Studio, but my MacBook seems incompatible and will not allow me to retrieve the data when coding.

My goal is to work with the full BRFSS dataset in RStudio Cloud. I’m comfortable using R code directly, but I need to know if there’s a way to increase my memory limit or a recommended method for importing large files without crashing the session.
