EXCEL WONT LET ME TYPE
- Nov 10, 2022
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?
I'm unable to click the option it's not highlighted kindly assistSergeiBaklan

On which Excel version / platform you are ?

I have same problem. I was using an add in to access Data. Now my excel is constantly not allowing me to do anything on it. I cannot move from one cell to another or typing anything.
And more, I am only able to do use a file if I starting excel on safe mode.
It is becoming almost impossible to run my excel 365.
Thanks for helping

If it works in safe mode and works without add-in, that means Excel is in conflict with such add-in. That's to disable it or check add-in settings if any. It looks like an issue is with add-in, not with Excel.
