I'm not 100% sure, but it might be set to 'Read-Only'

 

Try finding an excel file you want to open, right click it and choose properties and check that the Read-only box isn't ticked?

 

Might work, but like I say, i'm not 100% sure.

Could it be that somehow the settings have changed and the sheets have become protected (can lead to not being able to change data, etc..

 

Try...

Tools > Protection > Unprotect sheet (it does it by sheet alone, not the whole collection of them)

If unprotect sheet isnt an option there then this isn't the problem :shrug:

Also, if the sheet has macros for calculating things, make sure macros are enabled when you open the spreadsheet m8

If that doesnt work, maybe upload it up to here and ill have a look if it works on mine.

what OS u using? sounds like inbuilt security is blocking the macros m8 (well maybe OS, maybe AV) - re: the greyed-out options, are they all the same with a sheet with data in? (you might get less options showing because you've got a blank sheet open)
