Hi, I am happy it worked for you and pleased I could help.
Your English is very good and much better than my Peruvian.
- Thank you!
I found this response on another forum which solved my issue. “My solution was disabling the McAfee real time protection. I turned off the real time protection in McAfee Live Safe before opening the excel file and the issue was resolved.” When in McAfee Real Time, select settings, then Real-Time Scan and then turn-off the scan for the amount of time you need to work on the excel file. Suggest do not open other applications until the work on the excel file is completed. Hope this helps.
