For this reason, to find the cell address that contains a desired text, the tool needs time to query with different search methods. For a sheet that contains more than 1000 columns, it may take a few minutes to complete
[Excel] Excel GUI is opened when running “open excel workbook” while an Excel file is opening	The issue happens when the user tries to open the MS Excel application manually or using the command line without using TestArchitect.
