Hi All,
Hoping someone has seen this before or has some suggestions. Running macOS Mojave and Office 365 v16.20.
I open Excel as a blank workbook and can single click any cell and enter data into that cell. I can also choose the function wizard for that cell and enter via that dialogue. However, the second I either double-click a cell or single-click the function bar at the top to edit a formula, Excel hangs and the menu on the MacOS toolbar flickers. The only way out is to force-quit.
This is a new MacBook Pro with a new user installed and I have already done a clean install of Office several times as well as a brand new user account and clean install.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
