Maybe the regional settings are wrong, otherwise I can't imagine anything else at the moment.
Change the Windows regional settings to modify the appearance of some data types
If you are already in Safe Mode (as Mr. Hans Vogelaar recommended), you could also update and/or repair Excel.

NikolinoDE I recently moved from India to Dubai, could that have caused the issue? If so, could u advise what should be the correct regional settings. Thanks

Do you have any active add-ins in Excel? If so, try disabling them one by one to see if the problem goes away.
- Puneet894Aug 23, 2022Copper ContributorHi, thanks for your reply. I just checked and there are no active application add-ins
