Excel will not let me click into cells or incorrect cell is selected randomly
Hi, This is an ongoing issue that I've been having for years across platforms, computers, versions of excel and workbooks. Basicially, one of two things happen: 1-I click on a cell but nothi...
According to what has been written, edit mode might be activated.
But without a file (without sensitive data) it is difficult to make assumptions, especially in this case where it goes through many Excel versions.
If it is not, many questions arise beforehand.
Does it only happen in this file?
Does this file have macros?
Are add inns enabled?
Have all updates been carried out?
Has an Office repair been performed?
Anyway, hope this information helped you a bit.

- Thanks for the suggestions.
Regarding files, it does not happen to every file and files that it does happen to it doesn't happen every time.
Next time I do experience this issue I'll check to see if it's in exit mode or not. In the meantime, I'll do an office repair and hope it's a non issue going forward.
To your specific questions:
*Random files at random times. I have a couple sheets I use VERY often and those are the only files I noticed the issue more than once. And yep, sensitive information 😉
*Usually no macros (I only open one file with any regularity with macros. Oddly I'm not sure I had the click issue with that file.)
*No add INS enabled
*Always updated (Windows and Office apps as well as any drivers, etc.)
