Ctrl-D not working...

[yoko]

Probably a simple answer but I have a laptop where Ctrl-D doesn’t work (shortcut key for fill down)

All others work ok just this one.

It's not assigned to a macro either.

Anyone have any ideas?

This may seem a silly question, but I will ask it anyway.
Are you selecting the cell , containing the formatting/value that you want to copy down, and one or more cells below it?

This may be another silly question, but is your sheet filtered?

I am not an expert but this sounds serious to me. It may be necessary to re-install Excel, and if that doesn't work to re-install Office. I'd be very unhappy without Ctrl + D as I use it a lot.

Curiosity: Does Edit | Fill | Down from the menu work?

Edit | Fill | Down from the menu works fine. The sheet is not filtered. It does it on any spreadsheet.

Check your "Personal.xls" workbook for any macros that might have Crtl-d assigned to them. There may be a macro that does not do anything viewable that is using that shortcut key assignment.

 

[yoko]

Checked that + a few custom add-ons and there is nothing relating to CTRL-D

Try building a new macro and assign Ctrl-d to it.
If there is already a macro using that shortcut, you will get a prompt.
If that is not the case, re-installing Excel might be the next step.

----
I had installed an app, where the Ctrl+D had been assigned as a shortcut key.
I unchecked the option for that app and i am able to use the option in excel now.
