I have a document I share using Excel online via onedrive. I update it in on the desktop app and people access it via a link, and view it on the Web version.
Up until yesterday, a viewer would be able to click a cells with a hyperlink to another sheet in the workbook, and it would automatically take them there. Today, every single cell with a hyperlink requests the viewer to 'ctrl and click' to follow the hyperlink.
Microsoft apparently made it so this is the way links in the web version of excel work now and there is no fix -- it's a built-in 'feature' ---according to the answer from a Microsoft moderator Please fix this why would a built in feature require additional key strokes to work.

Yes! This has by far caused a lot of issue with my production team not being able to just click the cell to take them to the link. I hope they give an option for people to be able to remove this!
