Yes, I do see the copied text in both Excel Clipboard and WIndows Clipboard (Win+V) but again because the cell I initially copied is selected/dotted, the initial data is pasted in the new cell. Super weird and sudden. Wasn't like this a few months ago.

      Yes, its' strange. Could be a bug in concrete build, just in case I'm on

      More probable something affects clipboards behaviour. I'd try the same running both Windows and Excel in safe mode.

      Perhaps something else, no more ideas.

        Yeah, that's my guess. I'm currently on the most recent 2305 build. I tested Excel safe mode, and it was the same thing. Under Windows safe mode, I wasn't even able to Open Excel. I reverted out of safe mode and reinstalled/repaired MS Office and still the same. 

         

        I tried it under Onedrive view and copy and paste works as it should! So I guess we narrowed it down to the Desktop app having this issue.
