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.
It also happens to me super annoying! Sometimes it helps to scale up, many times not. Really a time waster. It already happened after row 10.
Thanks for adding to the thread, this is useful as I fear Microsoft might start to close them down. As they continue to ignore paying customers, I hope more and more people will raise the issue via Feedback Hub. Although that appears nothing more than a PR tool, at least the complaints will be registered.
Hi all, so i went a year without commenting on this i think, as it was fine, now newSS and it's doing it, actually i have been doing what Charlotte said, i scale up to 100+% and it stops it ...
