Paste in the Filter search field does not work

Guys, for some reason my paste does not work on my filters in Excel on my work pc - it simply does not even respond. Otherwise in any other field it works. I have no issues with this on my Mac Excel version which in this case is just truly perplexing. Any ideas? Thank you

    If that is for some concrete file try to rebuild it.

    If that is for any file try to repair the Office.

    If that is on other PC:s at your work with the same build, perhaps some bug for concrete build, but I don't remember it was such.

      SergeiBaklan Thanks Sergei for your response. Unfortunately this happens even in safe mode (opened it up via Ctrl+Excel) and normal mode with new or existing data. Others in my organization do not have this issue and I already checked for updates on Excel and it stated that all is up to date. I guess I will need to reinstall.. it is just strange that everything else works fine, just this one feature until now that is as I am still nw in this org.

    Is this in any workbook which has a filter? What happens if you first open Excel in safe mode (press and hold the control key immediately after launching Excel from its icon or in the Start menu)

      JKPieterse Thank you Jan. Safe mode does not seem to fix the issue. It happens on spreadsheets that I download and set a filter on or new ones where I just create bogus data to see if the issue persists and it does..

        This may be a user profile corruption. Does it work if you logon on a different machine?
