Excel selects wrong cell
Our IT team has also already tried everything possible, including reinstalling Windows and Office, and even providing a new laptop. None of these solutions have worked. They also contacted Microsoft, but Microsoft responded that this is not a known issue.
This problem only occurs in Microsoft 365 and does not appear in previous versions of Excel.
I'm on my 3rd employer-issued laptop (two awful Dell ones, now an even worse HP), they've also tried OS rebuilds, reinstalls etc. Microsoft could fix this, but they choose not to, as they are a corrupt, profiteering organisation, abusing their monopoly in a disgusting manner.
I've seen this back at least to Office 2003. And to mention again, on multiple platforms. As all issues with uncertain reproducibility, determining if it's a regression is extremely hard.
The fun continues.
"Not a known issue"?!?!?!? 😵🤡
I have a new theory. How old is the workbook this happens in? All of my workbooks it happens in are several years old. I've not experienced it in newer workbooks (2 years and younger).
It happens in any file
Unfortunately it happens to me even on new laptops. The company has changed mine twice since this issue arose, in a desparate attempt to fix it.
As for 'known issue' - yes, it's disgusting when they deny something as serious this.
Apologies, by workbook, I meant Excel Workbook, not machines.
Yes, even on fresh, newly created workbooks the issue occurs as well.
