no links/VBA/addons, but : Microsoft excel waiting for another application to complete an ole action
All these excel files were located in GDrive, moved them to local folder at computer and everything is solved !
This did it for me! Thank you SOOOO much!!!!!
Update for context: ankkit's reply regarding files located on Google File Stream / Google Drive was my issue resulting in the "waiting for OLE action" error. I tried disabling add-ins, but that wasn't the issue in my case. I probably shouldn't pass the buck on this one, but it should be brought to the attention of the respective MS and Google Product development teams.
Error: "Microsoft excel waiting for another application to complete an OLE action."
Cause: Certain Excel files being stored on Google Drive or Google File Stream.
Solution: Moving the files to a local drive or desktop (i.e. the hard drive).
