Was working my Excel spreadsheet with several tabs. Using coversheet (tab) for compiling data from subsequent tabs. All working fine until suddenly I couldn't simply click on any cell. HOWEVER, if I double-click a cell, I CAN enter data in that cell. But, what the heck happened? All other tabs still working normally. I'm guessing I must have hit some key or combination of keys that put a filter (or ???) on that page.

It sounds like the issue you are facing might be related to the worksheet protection or a specific Excel feature being enabled. Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the problem:
1. Worksheet Protection:
2. Cell Locking:
3. Filter Mode:
4. Cell Comments:
5. Formula Bar:
6. Check for Macros:
If your workbook contains macros, it's possible that a macro is affecting the behavior. Check the "Developer" tab for any macros.
7. Excel in Edit Mode:
8. Excel Options:
9. Restart Excel:
Sometimes, issues are resolved simply by restarting Excel.
If none of these suggestions resolves the issue, it could be a more complex problem, and you may want to consider reaching your IT department for further assistance. The text and steps were edited with the help of AI.
