excel spreadsheets reversed and upside down after installing mac os catalina

I have the same problem. I found that if I scroll down the spreadsheet, then back up, it flips it right-side up again. However some formatting is missing, and the column headings don't show for ever column. Huge problem.

Open any Office 2016 app. From the top menu bar, choose Help > Check For Updates.

If possible, I would try to get a refund on Office 2016. There was no point purchasing that when Office 2019 replaced it over a year ago as the current, perpetual license version.

Totally worked. You're a life saver!

I just installed the latest update (available here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac), and that helped me -- displayed correctly as soon as I opened the file, which it hasn't done since I updated my OS. Hope this helps!

Kurt...you're my hero. The upgrade worked. Go Saints!

What version of Office are you using.

I am running version 16.30 (19100300)

I am having no problems.

Any thing else I can check or test?

I updated to 16.16.14 and the problem seems to have resolved. Thanks for the follow-up!

How do you upgrade Excel to this version if you are not an Office 365 subscriber.? I just bought the 2016 Office software from Microsoft.

Thanks Kurt. I called Microsoft and they helped me install updates. Problem resolved

Same problem. How do I fix it??

I had the same issue with Catalina. I updated the Microsoft package to version 16.16.16 and all is well. Catalina has several bugs.

I have the problem too, but only when I attach a second monitor and extend the screen. If I remove the second monitor and reboot, I no longer have the issue. But, I would like to use both monitors.

I have not had that issue of the second monitor having problems.

What a mess!!!

So whats the fix Microsoft?
