Copy/paste no longer working in Excel
Sometime in the last few months the copy/paste function within Excel (Office 365 version) stopped working for me. I have updated Windows and all Office apps to the latest version but that hasn't fix...
- Mar 11, 2018I’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
Semi Annual Channel

Try starting Excel in safe mode (press the control key immediately after starting Excel, it should pop up a confirmation dialog to ask whether you want to start in safe mode).
If that makes your problem go away, the cause is very likely either an add-in or your personal macro workbook. See: http://jkp-ads.com/articles/startupproblems.asp with some pointers as to how to trouble-shoot add-ins.

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't even know safe mode was an option for Excel. Unfortunately it looks like that isn't the issue. I tried starting in safe mode and the same problem exists. Any other ideas?

Hi Jon,
If you open clipboard (as on picture) do you see what you copied?

Hi - I have the same issue mentioned above.
If i Control + C I see that the clipboard shows the data, so it is working.
If i Control + V then the information is not pasted into the new excel sheet.
If I use the clipboard I can paste the information but not with the format of the initial table.
Any suggestion?
