I don't know what happened but all the sudden today I can't cut/paste or move any rows, columns on any of my spreadsheets. It was fine Friday. To my knowledge there's been no system update on my machine (it's my work laptop). I feel like there's an easy fix. Help!!! I have a ton of stuff to get done. Thank you!!!

PS. I don't get an error or anything. I cut, go to where I want to paste, paste. Nothing happens. (copy seems to be fine but I can't delete columns either)

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Do you see anything when you open the clipboard?

Yes, the cut item is there. I just realized I also can't even insert a row or column either.

Sounds like corruption.

Restart your PC twice, then see if you have the same problem.
