Why are some options in the Excel table gray and unselectable?

php Editor's new answer: Some options in the Excel table are gray and cannot be selected. This is usually because these options do not match the currently selected cell or worksheet, or are restricted by protected worksheet. To solve this problem, you can check and adjust the format and content of the selected cells or the protection settings of the worksheet. After ensuring that the requirements are met, you can reselect the corresponding options.

When encountering this situation, we can first check whether the excel table has set limit protection.

First, go to [Review] on the toolbar above the excel table and see if there is an option to [Undo Worksheet Protection].

If there is, after clicking, a dialog box for entering the password will appear. Enter the restriction password in the blank space, and the restriction protection of the excel table will be cleared.

.

What if you don’t remember or don’t know the password? If you do not remember the password, you will not be able to delete the restriction in the excel table, not even the author himself, because excel does not have an option to retrieve the password.

If you try the password several times but fail, try using other tools to solve the problem. There are many office tools now that can directly clear the restrictions without a password, such as the Pepsi Niu Excel password recovery tool.

Select the [Unrestriction] module in the toolbar and import the excel table.

The Excel after the restrictions are lifted will be saved as a new document and will not overwrite the original Excel. Click [Go to View] to find it.
