Having installed excel Microsoft windows Insider version, although I see Python in the formula bar. But I am having issues running the Python formula. Even when I try inserting samples from sample_df.describe, I get the #Blocked! error message.

Appreciate all your help to resolve this issue. :)

FYI. I am having Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2402 Build 16.0.17304.20000) 64-bit

    I'm getting the same issue. It appeared after Python in Excel had worked fine for a couple of days. I tried all suggested mitigation, but to no avail. I've contacted Microsoft support over several days, was given the runaround, and finally they offered no help whatsoever on this. They advertise the feature, but the user is left without service and with a non-working product. The #BLOCKED! error came with an "explanation" which read "Limit exceeded", however, there is no further information on what exactly those limits are, why these would be triggered, and when these limits reset. Microsoft help were not willing to investigate the error further, or explain how the #BLOCKED error related to "Limit exceeded". In fact, in their adverts it says *nothing* about a limit, see pic below. As a paying consumer, I find this very confusing, and I think I might have wasted a lot of my precious time on this feature.

    Shame on you Microsoft!

    Having the same issue,

    Was hoping to start using this and showcase some functionality. Is there any indication of a pending resolution?

    Hello Joven, can you please help me? How did you run it as an admin?

    I am experiencing the same issue and have gone through the given solutions provided in this thread but nothing seems to fix this. My error message is further indicating that I'm not signed in. Where do I go to sign in? I've already verified that I'm connected with my Office 365 subscription but I don't know what "not signed in" refers to?
