Thumbs up Answer: Can't Copy and Paste or Paste Special between Excel Workbooks

It sounds like the issue may be related to the Excel settings or the clipboard. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the Excel Options: Go to File Options Advanced. Scroll down to the "Cut, copy, and paste" section and make sure the "Show Paste Options" box is checked. Also, check the settings under "Cut, copy, and paste" to ensure they are set to your desired preferences.
  2. Clear the Clipboard: Sometimes the clipboard can become corrupted and cause issues with copying and pasting. To clear the clipboard, open the Clipboard pane by clicking on the Clipboard group in the Home tab. Then, click on the Clear All button to clear the clipboard.
  3. Check for Add-ins: Add-ins can sometimes interfere with Excel's functionality. Go to File Options Add-ins and check if there are any add-ins listed. If there are, try disabling them and see if the issue persists.
  4. Repair Office: If none of the above steps work, try repairing your Office installation. Go to Control Panel Programs and Features, select Microsoft Office, and click on Change. Then, select "Repair" and follow the prompts to repair your Office installation.

Hopefully, one of these steps will resolve the issue and allow you to copy and paste between Excel workbooks.
