Excel will not let me click into cells or incorrect cell is selected randomly
CPeterson710 I have read through this thread and thought I’d add my experience with this issue.
I have had this issue using different files on different computers over the past 3 years. I have used Windows 10 and Windows 11.
For me, I have observed this happens mainly when I’m working in a table or if at some point I have sorted the rows. It’s a huge annoyance when updating. In my experiences I have a minimum of 20 rows before this issue happens. To “unstick” it, I have to arrow up and down above and below the stuck row then arrow to a cell in the row and type to get it to work again. It’s fiddly and a time waster. I would hope that Microsoft staff would have encountered this and would have tried to find a fix. I am guessing not since it has happens for such a long time.
I'm going to start raising repeat reports via Feedback Hub for the same issue until they start taking it seriously, in the hope someone there might notice and offer to help.
We had a rep on this post or a similar one, names Chris Hammond, who started helping then disappeared. He said it was better to report the issue via the feedback option from the app itself, and mention his name in the report.
This continues to be one of the most disgusting customer services fails I've encountered in years working in tech.
