Worth trying this:
- Clear Python output cache: Try deleting all Python output cells and then saving. Sometimes the output itself causes issues.
- Save as .xlsx (non-Python): Save the workbook as a regular .xlsx file (without Python), then re-enable Python and reinsert your code.
- Use Excel Online: If available, try opening the workbook in Excel for the web and see if the issue persists there.
- Check for hidden named ranges or links: Sometimes Excel stores hidden references that can cause save errors. Use the Name Manager to inspect and delete any suspicious entries.
