 * I wonder if the formulas in a table are executed when the web page is opened?
   This is because I built a table with the control of the date that was supposed
   to produce the change of state on 1/1/2025. This didn’t happen thi morning automatically
   and I had to edit the table and save it to get the result. Which doesn’t make
   sense. What did I do wrong?
 * Many thanks
 * Carlo

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * Yes, formulas are evaluated when a table is shown on the page — however TablePress
   has a built-in caching mechanism that (for logged-out users) will only re-create
   the table’s HTML code every 24 hours. Thus, you might simply have checked while
   the previous day’s formula result was still cached. Re-saving the table will 
   then immediately clear the cache.
 * To turn off this caching for a table, you can added the configuration parameter`
   cache_table_output=false` to the Shortcode or the block in the block editor that
   you are using to embed the table into the page.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
