Cache management

xllify caches completed external and async function results for instant recalculation. If the input value changes, that is a new execution, of course.

Clearing the cache

1

From command line (xllify-python required)

xllify-clear-cache

This clears all cached results across all XLL instances.

2

Manual refresh

Change any cell value in the formula to trigger a new request:

Before: =xllipy.Hello("World")
After:  =xllipy.Hello("World ")  # Added space

Completed functions:

• Results stay in cache until cleared

• Recalculation (F9) returns instantly

• No new Python IPC call

• Errors remain in the cache

Incomplete functions:

• If a cell is deleted before completion, the cache entry is removed
