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

I found that a quick remedy for this issue to copy and paste the problematic spreadsheet into a new spreadsheet and that instantly took care of the problem.
Thanks so much - it appears that the number of times F8 is tapped, that number of rows select each time I try to select one row. I am back to one which is what i need for this instance.
Again, thanks so much! God bless.
M.A.
I had this problem and going to VIEW and Selecting NORMAL fixed it.
