Copy/paste no longer working in Excel
- 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

Jon,
At least clear what happens with dashed border - if clipboard doesn't work it dissappears.
Google says similar issue appears from time to time, for example https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304933-excel-for-mac/suggestions/17693512-after-upgrade-to-office-365-cut-and-paste-does (by the way, you are on Mac or on PC?) or here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2016-excel/clipboard-problem-in-excel-2016/224b2a59-8a0c-4897-baba-a481dd06e085?auth=1.
But i didn't find concrete solution, sorry. I'd start from Office repair/update if that help.
Thanks, I'm using a PC. I've tried Office repair/update and that hasn't solved the problem.

Hi Jon,
Under the Home Ribbon, can you expand cell styles. Do you have something like this? or are there many many odd formats..

Wyn Hopkins Hi Wyn. I am having the same problem Jon had. When I expand the cell styles option I have several odd styles show up as custom. How do I fix it?

Mine looks basically identical to yours.
