Hi and welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community!
I found a solution on this site:

With a clean re-install of Office, and the problem remaining on any file,
then it pretty much has to be a machine problem. Memory, OS, virus, or
hardware. Double check everything, and try another program to see if you
have abnormalities there also....and with that program running in the
background, see if you still have the format problem in Excel. Make sure
your XLstart folder is empty so as not to cause any external problem from
there. Disable any Add-ins you have installed. Have you recently
installed another program, Drivers, and/or Operating Systems?
I also found another possible solution here:

Try Excel in safe mode and see if the problem goes away. To run Excel in safe mode, click on Start | Run and type 'excel /s' (without the quotes) and press OK. If it works, Excel has minor configuration problems.

__Martin__ Maybe you can help me out. I have an application in Excel that polls a remote PLC through an Active X (MBAXP). Cells of a sheet are populated on between 1 and 5 seconds. The application works flawless, UNTIL the office updates.
OFFICE BUILDS PAST V1908 DON'T WORK!!!! WHY?? I've spent a considerable amount of time uninstalling Office then reinstalling an older version 64bit office. What the heck is going on?
