why are multiple cells selected when i only want one?
I'm clicking in a cell and the cells below it are also being highlighted,
maybe 4 or 5 cells below. This is very annoying, particularly when trying to select cells to go into a formula. Can anybody tell me how to stop it doing this please? Thank you. |

I'm having this same issue! Tried the solutions given by Jacob. Didn't solve
the probem. When I try to click a cell it selects that cell and the 8 below it. Somebody please help. Possible glitch in software?

If Excel 2007, try setting the Zoom level a couple of points higher or
lower. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 6 Oct 2009 06:41:01 -0700, SHerringtonJr wrote: I'm having this same issue! Tried the solutions given by Jacob. Didn't solve the probem.

I noticed that it changes and stops doing it when I scroll up and down one or
two clicks with the mouse wheel. This leads me to believe it's some type of glitch in the software. I'm guessing there is someway to notify microsoft of this problem?

One solution that worked for me was to reselect and SET the PRINT AREA. For
some reason the program was confused with respect to which cells I wanted to select, but when I re-established the print area the multiple cell selection disappeared and only returned a single selected cell.
