Using Advanced Formula Environment but disabling LABS.GENERATIVEAI function and Python editor

[D3vil0p3r]

Hello,
in case I would like to deploy the AFE on my company but (currently) deploying only Advanced Formula Environment and keep disabling for domain users LABS.GENERATIVEAI function and Python editor, is it possible?

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback @D3vil0p3r - we are aware of the pain point. No work currently scheduled for this, but tagging @chgrossMSFT for visibility.

Second this. My IT department is extremely wary of LABS.GENERATIVEAI, which means AFE packaged in Excel Labs in off limits too.

I understand the rationale for bundling, but what's the likelihood of AFE being a) spun off into an independent add-in again, or b) incorporated into native Excel?
