    Thank you, this has lead to me to the solution. SharePoint will only support views with 5000 items. I found that my SharePoint Library was keeping 500 versions. Since I have 12 spreadsheet this now exceeds the 5000 item limit.

Reducing the major version kept to the smallest number allowed (100) has fixed the problem.
