There could be several reasons why you are getting a compile error when invoking an Excel macro from Python on a line that Excel called another file to run. One possible reason is that the file Excel is trying to call is not in the correct location or is missing.
To fix this issue, you should ensure that the file Excel is trying to call is in the correct location and has the correct name. You may also want to check that the file is not corrupted or otherwise inaccessible.
Another possible reason for the compile error could be a syntax error in the line of code that is invoking the Excel macro from Python. Make sure that the code if written correctly and that all required parameters are passed in the correct format.
If the issue persists, you can try debugging the code by adding print statements or using a debugging tool to identify the specific line of code that is causing the issue. You can also refer to the documentation for the library or module you are using to see if there are any known issues or limitations with invoking Excel macros from Python.
I hope this helps!
