Dear Team,

 

the copy paste issue comming since yesterday 14 oct 2016 after updating security update kb5127648 and security update for microsoft excel 2016 kb5002934, if i copy any cell from sheet2 and paste it on  sheet1 it work well but if copy any cell from sheet1 and paste on the other sheet or on the same sheet is not performing while it paste normaly in notepad file, also copy anything from notepad and paste in the sheet1 is work well

  • The directional result is useful: Sheet1 can receive data, but copying from Sheet1 fails inside Excel while text reaches Notepad. That does not establish a general Windows clipboard failure or prove which update caused it. Back up the workbook, then reproduce with a tiny new workbook containing two sheets. Compare copying values only with normal paste, first without and then with conditional formatting. Record the exact Excel build and whether it is MSI or Click-to-Run. Microsoft has documented a conditional-formatting paste regression and a revised Excel 2016 MSI update, but that does not confirm your October symptoms have the same cause. Check the latest applicable fix for your installation type rather than uninstalling security updates indiscriminately. If only the original workbook fails, investigate its rules, add-ins and structure. If the new workbook reproduces it, provide Microsoft with that minimal sample and the installed update list.
