Hello Howard and all,
As Louis wrote, this checkbox is in the Excel advanced options.
If you uncheck it, you can read Excel cells content in Braille when editing it with f2.
I contacted the Microsoft Disability Help Desk and told them about the problem. They told me they would investigate.
I had a look on an older PC with NVDA 2020.3 and Excel 2013. The Checkbox exists also and I did not identify the braille problem.
So I suppose it is related to Office 365 and NVDA.

To whom does it belong (JAWS, NVDA, windows, etc.) and where is it found? I'd like to take a look. Howard On 10/22/2020 5:42 AM, Louis Maher wrote:
Folks,
Unchecking this box effects JAWS as well.
When the NVDA, or Microsoft, error is corrected, you can check this
box, and your Excel editing will go faster.

Hello Louis and all,
Thank you for this tip, it works!
Does anyone know what this checkbox is for?
Why checking this box prevents NVDA from using braille in cells but
not other screEn readers?

Accessing cell content in Braille in Excel for Office 365
Hello,
This problem comes up periodically. You can try unchecking the box
which says “allow editing directly in cells”. In Excel 365, do this:
Open an Excel spreadsheet.
Type alt + f. Up arrow to options, hit enter. Down arrow to advanced.
Tab until you find the box which says “allow editing directly in
cells. Uncheck that box. Shift + Tab until you reach OK. Hit enter.
Regards

Hello,
This is the same here.
It seems to work better with other screen readers.
May be I should test with former NVDA version to see when this bug has
started.

Re: [nvda] Accessing cell content in Braille in Excel for Office 365
In Excel with pressing f2, I can view cell contents in Braille but not
use cursor to edit. I can use the Braille keyboard to edit but the
Braille doesn't update until I get out of that edit field With
QBraille XL and a recent NVDA alpha Think this has been the case for a
while

Hello all,
Using Office 365 for companies for some months now, I have
encountered one problem accessing cell content in Braille.
When I want to edit a shared Excel file and write in a
particular cell, opening it with F2, NVDA does not refresh the
Braille display and I cannot correct typos with the braille
display, only with the speech synthesiser.
I use last NVDA 2020.3 version with Office 365 for businesses.
Is it a known problem of NVDA or should I rather contact
Microsoft?
Thank you for any experience some of you may have.
