Microsoft Excel 2021 Freezing - Microsoft told me to post here Hello, I have a macbook pro m1 14" and recently purchased Microsoft Excel 2021. Excel freezes regularly on my macbook. If I click the 'Tools' menubar it will hang for 30 seconds+ showing the beachball. Additionally, even I try to copy a cell, or a variety of other tastes it will hang showing the beachball before eventually (after 30-60 seconds) letting me complete the task. Word also has some freezing issues but not as badly as excel, which I need to use frequently. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and it does not fix it. However, based on a suggestions by Microsoft, I did login as a guest user and there were no freezes with excel so they suggested it was a problem with my user account and to seek apple community support for help. So what is going on? I have removed login items and restarted but that is not the cause. Does anyone have any other suggestions of software that may be causing the freezing?

excel not working Excel files cannot be accessed. Stopped functioning mid day with no rhyme or reason. Works fine on Office 365 platform as well as able to drag files there and open. Updated to latest OS as well as cleaned out cache. Reloaded Excel. Very bizarre as other office programs (Word, Powerpoint) work normal. Thoughts?
