Wait a few minutes and try performing this operation again!!" Even If I directly access the Excel from the document library also getting the same error!!

Would be nice if you could provide some log information, but double check:

  • Excel Services is actually running on the farm.
  • Check if you can run Get-SPExcelServiceApplication
  • Check the Trusted File Location for Excel Services
  • Check if your Web Application has a service connection to the Excel Services

At the end got it working, In order to get rid off the error we need to activate the Excel services web service application proxy in web application service connections.

In case the above mentioned proxy is not available under the service connections, go ahead and create one. Need some help, its right here !!

I have answered this previously here ... If you need further clarification pls ping / comment. I believe your error is because it is missing the hotfix.

Excel Services 2010 Error - "The workbook cannot be opened."

Goodluck
