How do I stop selecting multiple cells in Excel with cursor?
 
When I am using Excel and want to select a single cell with my mouse, I click
on the cell but I get multiple cells instead. Of course I can still use the
keyboard to change its size, but that takes too long.

There's 3 modes - normal, extend selection, and add to selection.

You should be able to press F8 or Shift-F8 to toggle into & out of the
various modes.
