EXCEL WONT LET ME TYPE

WONT LET ME TYPE IN CELL, TRIED RESTARTING COMPUTER, BUT STILL WONTL ET ME EDIT ANYTHING! HELP!

  • Amanda Voyles I know this is an old question but I had a similar problem (might be different for yourself) which took me longer than it should to realise but directly to the left of the formula/text box up top there is a tick and X button. Hit the X.

        For Excel 2016 that is File->Options->Advanced. Approximately the same for other versions.

        Please clarify, you can't edit within the cell or in formula bar?
