I did multiple online searches and could not find a solution. Hopefully someone here can help me. I work on Excel spreadsheets all day long. At the end of the day, I sent a spreadsheet to my home laptop to work on in the evening. The drag and drop would not work. I checked the settings; and it is enabled, so that was not the issue. Then I attempted to highlight a group of rows (to hide them). When I clicked (left) on the row margin and tried to move the mouse down to highlight the next four rows, all that happened was the row got taller. I cannot even highlight one row, if I hold my finger on the left mouse button it will flash the row, but won't highlight.

I attempted a reboot. hitting escape. moving the USB to a different port. Nothing works. And the excel was working fine a few days ago. Not sure what I did, I could really use your help.
