I have heard, but cannot confirm, that some people with this problem have found that altering the zoom level (slider in lower right corner of Excel window) gets the multiple seelction to go away

Zooming into 200% worked for me, atleast as a temporary fix.

Had the same problem on my desktop windows 7. Did not think it would work since you cannot zoom your desktop. But I went through the motions .. and it worked anyway!. Thanks
This worked for me, thanks very much.

Hi. This also happened to me using Excel 2010. It was happening in only one sheet of several in this file. I Followed the instructions on this page using the View tab and increasing the zoom then clicked in another cell which selected a single cell only, yahoo! Then used the tab again to select the zoom back to 100%. This worked a charm.
