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.
Hi,
I had the same problem today.
You simply need to close Excel, then navigate to "%appdata%\Microsoft\Excel" in Windows explorer and rename Excel15.xlb to Excel15.old, and finally restart Excel and the problem should be fixed.
Cheers

thanks a lot for same, worked perfectly. you guys are genius.........
looks Indian Income Tax Return is the culprit. I too faced this issue while I tried upload the returns. I found difficult to find Excel15.xlb in %appdata%\Microsoft\Excel with my OS windows 10. But I did find and changed it. In effect, Excel15.xlb was disabled.
I agree & aspire to remove the Indian Income Tax Act from statutes as suggested by Sri Subramaniam Swamy.
I am facing same issue with MS Office excel 2010. please advice the solution
