Jim22122 did you find the fix? I have been using Ctrl + D in MS Excel for over 25 years and it just stopped working for me this month.

Same as you Ctrl + R still works to fill right; my workaround is to add Fill Down to my quick access toolbar. So frustrating. (Menu path is Home > Editing menu > Fill > Down right click to add to Quick Access) (Keystrokes - Alt H, Fi, menu key, A)

Today someone posted on anther thread that it could be a shortcut in WebEx. For me it was. In the WebEx desktop app I went to my profile picture, Settings, Keyboard Shortcuts, Meetings & Calls, and disabled all the keyboard shortcuts including Ctrl+D decline call.

Thank you ShellyDxGen ! I disabled my WebEx shortcuts and now I can joyfully use my Excel shortcut again!

Thanks Shelly for the answer.
One only needs to disable the "decline call" shortcut in Webex, and immediately ctrl-d works in excel again.
