    The issue getting worse, This not only happening on excel online web base. We also had this bad experience in excel 365  either desktop version on Mac or Windows version.

     

    The cells in a file should be locked by me as an owner or admin of the file by opening the protect sheet then go to format cells tick the lock feature then protect back the sheet with the same password.

    But right now the cell in an Excel file will automatically be locked after pasting from another source without doing such as mentioned above. After the cell is locked, the cell showed a blank white cell.

    If I unlock the cell, the cell's format change.

     

    This issue makes us stressfully. I should unlock and lock every error cells.

    Is there anyone from Microsoft here to help solve this issue?

     

    Bounce it up!
