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

Clearing the clipboard seems to work for me and other colleagues when encountering this problem. From the Home tab, click the little breakout icon next to "Clipboard" (underneath Format Painter), then click Clear All in the Clipboard window.
Excel is basically unusable for me for well over a year now as I have to *really* need to process data by saving into a file instead of copy+pasting it. I didn't realize it was such a widespread issue and if Microsoft isn't fixing it then I'm afraid I'll just have to ask for money back... it's just ridiculous - every time I want to paste I need to:
1. Open new blank spreadsheet
2. Only then copy from the other app
3. Paste into blank spreadsheet
This is a one time thing - next copy+paste - new spreadsheet is needed...
