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

I my case Excel opens my workbook with multiple sheets selected by default.
When i selected a range of cells, Excel copies the same range on multiple sheets.
Excel will not let you paste these cells into a single sheet.
Deselecting the other sheets solved it for me.
I've had the same problem with Excel, and now a similar problem with Word, pasting content from one table to another. The company uses 365 on PCs.
I take problematic documents home with me to test with an older version of Office, on a different OS (Mac). 9 times out of 10, it works, and converts back without issues. That's what I'll do in this case. I'll update accordingly if it works.
Otherwise, if you can get this to function with your current configuration, I recommend saving a copy of your work on a USB stick, and storing it in a Grand Cayman bank vault.
