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.

Hello all,
Normally, I can press F2 on a cel in MS Excel and NVDA will allow me to read and edit the cell contents. Today, this has stopped working. In a spreadsheet I've been using for a week with no problems, I now cannot hear any cell contents
after pressing F2. The contents are there and if I make edits and hit enter I can read my edits.However, this is not sufficient for editing prose.
