My excel sheet has an XLSLIM_RUN_AT_START named range, which contains a call to RegisterPyModule().  The cells in this range do NOT get executed on load, so my custom functions show NAME errors until I manually recalc that cell.

Here is the log file showing that xlSlim does not find the "run at start" range. However, when I manually recalc the cell in the range, it does find it.

Can you help me resolve this issue?

2023-08-04 10:22:18.0067 INFO xlSlim.AddInRegistration Calculated cell "$B$8" in named range XLSLIM_RUN_AT_START

Hi,
I will investigate. To make sure I understand correctly - you had to manually recalc the cell B8 and then the “run at start” range was found when the sheet was reopened?

Thanks,
Russel

I have to manually recalc B8 every time the sheet is opened. xlSlim never recognizes the XLSLIM_RUN_AT_START range, in which B8 resides.

Hi,
I have found the issue. The cells are being recalculated, however the Python registration functions are not compatible with running within an Excel WorkbookOpen event. I'll address this in the next release which should be mid-August.
Regards,
Russel
