Odd things happening

Copper Contributor

Hi folks,

a couple of weeks ago two things started happening in my excel that I cannot find a solution for anywhere.

(1) when I start typing a formula, all groups expand in my excel sheet.  How do I disable this feature?

(2) I can no longer highlight continuous data by holding ctrl+shift+arrow.

 

Any advice on the above?

 

Thanks,

Dan

Does this also happen when you start Excel in safe mode (press and hold the control key when you launch Excel)?

Hi Jan, it does not happen in safe mode...

@danandrew , not sure about first question, Ctrl+Shift+Arrow shall work on all versions of Excel. I'd try to repair.

Start Excel normally and then try turning off your add-ins one by one to see which causes this. Don't forget to also check the COM add-ins. File, Options, Add-ins tab, dropdown close to the bottom of the window, select add-in type and press Go...

I@Jan Karel Pieterse  I tried that... no change.  Do I need to just action the active ones or the inactive ones too?

Only look at the ones which are checked. O and if you have a Personal macro workbook you may want to try moving that away from the XLSTART folder as well.
