Hello, Ben Nguyen2

Welcome to Microsoft Community.  

I realize that you've encountered a problem with Excel on Mac. Texts in all cells seem upside down in your spreadsheet. I understand how you feel. 

Please check your Office version and make sure it’s the latest. It may be a compatibility issue related to version.

Open Excel> in the top menu, click Help > Check for updates > update Excel.

For more information, see Update Office for Mac automatically - Microsoft Support. 

If it doesn’t work, we may require more detailed information from you.   

• Excelversion: Open Excel> click Excelin the upper-left corner, > click About Excel.   You can see the version number and share us with the screenshot.
• Do other programs in the Office suite, such as Word/PowerPoint/Outlook, etc., also have the same problem?
• If you open the same files in Excel online, does the problem still exist?
• If you create an Excel document by yourself, does the problem still exist?

Once we receive your response, we may recommend more troubleshooting steps. 

I'm looking forward to your reply.
