copy from 2 + cells in excel file to 1 cell in another excel file
Previously I could copy information from 2 + cells in excel file to 1 cell in another excel file. Since my 365 update this no longer works. I checked with another colleague and they can still do this...

What exactly do you mean by "copy information from 2 + cells in excel file to 1 cell"?

Although it's still possible, recent versions of Excel have indeed made that much more difficult.
As a workaround, copy the cells (Ctrl+C), then paste them into Notepad (Ctrl+V).
Select the pasted text, and copy it (Ctrl+C).
Switch to the target workbook, and select the target cell.
Press F2 to edit the cell, then Ctrl+V to paste.
