Hello -

I have an odd issue.   No matter if it is a new or existing workbook my insert and delete row/column options are greyed out.   The workbook is not protected as this happens for even brand new ones as well.  I have searched and cannot locate a solution.

Excel 2013 - Click to run

Windows 8

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just solved my own issue.

Had to delete the \Office\15.0\Excel\Options via regedit.

Problem resolved.

    For me, turning off any filtering on columns brought the Home - Insert - Insert Cells option back.
