    I am having the same problem with a worksheet that I have used CTRL + multiple cell selection.

    as soon as I right click to bring up selection window ( I'm trying to clear contents ) I receive the same error message.  I click okay on the error message and it comes up again... so I click okay one more time and then I am finally able to bring up the selection window and select clear contents.   This is a new problem I've encountered this week.  I'm unsure if this is due to a Microsoft update or my company computer update ?

    Do you mean right click doesn't work at all or you click on something concrete from right click menu?

    Could you please explain your problem in more detail?

    Does this problem occur with all excel files?

    Is this problem with all cells?

    Remember a mouse problem in a same case. Doesn't mean that your problem is like that, but trying another mouse would invalidate this thought.

     

    Please carry out updates beforehand

    Update Windows 10 

    Install Office Updates

     

    Knowing the Excel version and operating system would be an advantage.

     

    Thank you for your understanding and patience

      Hello, Same problem here since 28/09/21. The actual problem is when you select two or more cells with CTRL and then right click, you get inmediately the message "this can't be done on a multiple range selection..." .

      Not even try anything, just right clicking. 

      The problem is with the context menu, because if I select multiple cells with Ctrl and the  go to start I can do the usual things like format, cell color, etc

      Thanks
