After upgrading to office 2016, some excel files crash.
Greetings Experts,
I recently upgraded some of my computers to Office 2016.
I’m noticing that some excel files crash while using them.
Get a very broad error in the event viewer: Event id: 1000: faulting application name excel.exe version 16, time stamp xxxxxx
So no clue there.
If I take the file, I can open it in Excel 2010 without issue.
If I go to another computer with 2016, it crashes.
So it’s something to do with the version.
I copied the data from the worksheet to a new file, same thing, crashed when you go to edit data.
One of the files has a cell with the input: ‘December 2015
If I go to edit it to say, ‘January 2016 it crashes
If I go to another cell on the sheet, then I can edit certain cells without it crashing.
Very strange. Font?
Any ideas would help. Thank you in advance for your efforts.
My best-
Kacey

The /s wouldn't work either. I was able to hit the ctrl button and start excel to initiate safe mode, but received an error. I'll include the screen shot. I hit fix now and nothing happens.
I ran the online repair for office and this is still happening. Any ideas?

do you have more than one version of Office installed?
if so, perhaps uninstall both versions and then reinstall 2016
