    Hi Nicolino and SergeiBaklan,

    Thanks for the analyse.

    I joined the debbuger as suggested in the menu functions and it shows these messages in loop in the consol tab :

    taskpane.2c4b4cd292f…b3f683e.bundle.js:2 External code service environment data read failed:

    It seems indicating to me that an Excel API fonction is missing !

    I guess that's Excel 2021. If so Excel Labs shall work with it. At least AFE, not sure about other components. If right pane is blank that could be issue with internet connection (settings, firewall). Also clean of Office cache could help. Or simple restart.

        Thanks for the clarification. AFE works with any Excel starting from Excel 2016. If we speak about AFE, not LABS.GENERATIVEAI and Python Editor.

    Based on the version details you provided (Excel LTSC 16.0.14334.20688), it is highly likely that you are facing an incompatibility issue with the Grid Editor, but it is difficult to claim this with 100% certainty without official documentation from Microsoft.
