Default Excel does not work if any other excel file selected in any folder

Excel does not allow to any entry if any other excel file clicked in any other folder (not same excel file) Can this be fixed?

Your thread title and problem description are ambiguous. Please explain.

Lets say I opened an excel file(A.xlsx) from any folder in drive c: And I am working on it. And at the middle of the work I wanted to open another existing excel file(B.xlsx) in another folder in drive c: . Lets say I click on the file B.xlsx and did not opened it. So it is selected situation but not opened. Then when I go back to file A.xlsx , it is not allowing to make any entry to any cell. If I go back and remove my selection for file B, by clicking on another any folder, I am able to work on file A.xls.
But some time it is not doing it, that is strange.

Have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Start > Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair)? Your problem description suggests a problem with Office is the most likely cause.
