Frozen window excel on macbook pro

My Excel crashed and I cannot forcefully quit it. It just stays there frozen for 2 days already and I cannot restart my computer. However, it still works for anything else except for that frozen excel window (as in the picture). Can anyone help me out? I don't know what to do to it.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Hello Theodora_C,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand from your post that you are unable to force quit Excel or restart your MacBook Pro. Try to quit the process as described in the article below using Activity Monitor:

You can always force quit the Mac by holding the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 sec.
