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...
- 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]

The problem is with multiple worksheets, created by Excel due to problems, and Excel can't deal with changes in just one version.
The solution is to look at any worksheet it wants to save under an alternate name and to save it as a replacement for the original worksheet if it is fine, or to save it under a different name and then eliminate it. In any case eliminate saved duplicate files.
Then restart the program, choose your files from the file menu (File-Open-Browse), not the list of previously opened files.
Copy from one worksheet to another - the problem should be gone.
