Copy/paste no longer working in Excel
- I’d recommend that everyone having thus issue goes to File > Feedback and send a frown, putting your details in the section and start it [Can’t Copy Paste]
Also what version is everyone in who’s having this problem ? File > Account
It will read something like

This problem is just because you have 2 instances of EXCEL.EXE and you want to copy paste from one instance to another. You can't copy paste values for example. You can see that from your Start Task Manager. In excel 2010 any workbook opened from explorer was opened from the last application opened. In 365 they try but from my experience sometimes fails to open all of them in only one application.
A solution is to open that excel file using File->Open commands inside your application and not double-clicking an excel file from explorer. I hope this helps.
A POSSIBLE FIX FOR YOU
Hijrizor refer to this link: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/solved-copy-and-paste-not-working/ STEP 3 worked for me & several others on that site.
Hope this helps 😉
jrizor That does not help me. When I open Excel I get an error that says Cannot use object linking and embedding. Not cut and paste will work in Excel for me period works fine in all other apps. I had to create a couple new directories in order to use Excel programmatically. Maybe Microsoft does not want you to do both use excel with out the app and have the ability to cut and paste.
