[QUOTE="pedal999, post: 1892386, member: 408953"] I'm looking for suggestions as to the cause / solution to a spinning beachball every time I try and copy/paste in Excel. This happens more on some spreadsheets, but is happening in one I use frequently which is only 700kb. I am using Office 365, and my MBP is 2018 (2.6 GHz i7, 32GB RAM), running Catalina. It does however seem independent of device, as I recreated it on my partners MacBook Air (2011, 2.0GHz i7, 8GB RAM) running High Sierra. The desired file is stored locally but mirrored in iCloud). I am aware that was a problem in Office 2011 for Mac, but my online search hasn't found posts with this problem recently. I have tried an older suggested workaround of copy/pasting a blank cell in a blank spreadsheet before opening the desired file as suggested at [URL='https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/249326/excel-2011-copy-and-paste-beachball-hang-freeze-issue']Excel 2011 copy and paste beachball hang freeze issue[/URL] I have also tested with desired file mirrored on a different cloud, and also just saved locally without any cloud mirroring, - all have similar problems. A spindump is available at [URL]https://gist.github.com/KathParamedic/6b13f7556c76e8ba0255579e2f3322d6[/URL] Thanks in anticipation [/QUOTE]
