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?

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.
