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

Hi If you have other workbooks open make sure all workbooks are saved the ctrl c should work Jon Firooz
dave-richards666Dave, I can only save files and not workbooks. I save the Excel file while in the first workbook because Excel returns to the last place you were in the file. Are you suggesting I have to go into each workbook, and save the file while in each one to resolve the Copy&Paste problem? Also, sometimes I have to hit Cntrl C many times before the dashes remain. If the dashes do not remain, then the Paste is simple a text paste, and the whole Paste Excel richness is gone, and only 2 options show up in the drop down window. Vincent
VLavalleAZ A workbook is a file. I think you are getting confused between workbooks and worksheets.
Stephen Eddleston-McGrathYes, you are correct about my confusing the two. But, my problem with the Copy function is all in ONE file, and that it does not work when pasting in the other worksheets. It has nothing to do with going across files, although that may be an issue as well, but not one I am running into since I am paste linking data only within the same file., as I suspect most of the users out there are encountering also.
