Excel will not let me click into cells or incorrect cell is selected randomly
Hi, This is an ongoing issue that I've been having for years across platforms, computers, versions of excel and workbooks. Basicially, one of two things happen: 1-I click on a cell but nothi...
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 ...
