excel skips to another workbook for no apparent reason

Good day All,

I see we all experiencing this issue for a while. Has anyone been able to solve this issue at all, as i have a client who is furious that their productivity is hindered do to something as small as moving between a cell.

As everyone has explained in the past few posts, the client is in the same situation and is experiencing exactly the same issues.

Please could someone help with a work around?

I have had the same problem for a while.  Early on I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows 365.  I usually have three or four spreadsheets open at the same time and the problem happens multiple times a day.  When is Microsoft going to fix this?  Has anyone had any experience updating to Office 2016?  Does it do the same thing?

I normally only have one spreadsheet maximized at a time. Usually only two when doing side by side comparison, so I doubt that is the answer for the fix. It may solve your problem with happening often because multiple are maximized, but it still happens.

Thanks for the feedback!

This drives me insane. Is there still no answer or fix? The sheet I'm working in will all of a sudden l do nothing - its basically frozen. Then I go to any other open spreadsheet and type a character (it will let me type in another sheet) - delete it and go back to the worksheet I want and then it lets me use the sheet I was working in to begin with. So frustrating! It randomly happens, probably once per day. I can't figure out why, though.
