Getting error with right click after selecting multiple cells with Ctrl
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
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

Thanks for the link but it's not the same problem. That link is for the well known case of selecting nonadjacent cells.
This problem is new and it's different and occurs when selecting even adjacent cells but with CTLR and the problem is the context menu because Excel blocks the context menu BEFORE you choose any option. Me and next post have explained it in detail.
Thank you.
