To copy or paste data from/into another spreadsheet or some other program use the following key combinations:
- Ctrl+X key combination for cutting;

Note: instead of cutting and pasting data within the same worksheet you can select the necessary cell/range of cells, hover the mouse cursor over the selection border so that it turns into the 
icon and drag and drop the selection to the necessary position.
Use the Paste Special feature
Once the copied data is pasted, the Paste Special 
button appears next to the lower right corner of the inserted cell/cell range. Click this button to select the necessary paste option.
When pasting a cell/cell range with formatted data, the following options are available:

The following options can be used if the copied data contains formulas:
- Paste only formula - allows to paste formulas without pasting the data formatting.
- Formula + number format - allows to paste formulas with the formatting applied to numbers.
- Formula + all formatting - allows to paste formulas with all the data formatting.
- Formula without borders - allows to paste formulas with the all the data formatting excepting cell borders.
- Formula + column width - allows to paste formulas with all the data formatting and set the source column width for the cell range you paste the data to.

- Value + all formatting - allows to paste the formula results with all the data formatting.

When pasting the contents of a single cell or some text within autoshapes, the following options are available:
- Source formatting - allows to keep the source formatting of the copied data.
- Destination formatting - allows to apply the formatting that is already used for the cell/autoshape you paste the data to.
Use the Auto Fill option
To quickly fill multiple cells with the same data use the Auto Fill option:
- select a cell/range of cells containing the necessary data,
- move the mouse cursor over the fill handle in the right lower corner of the cell. The cursor will turn into the black cross:
- drag the handle over the adjacent cells you want to fill with the selected data.
Note: if you need to create a series of numbers (such as 1, 2, 3, 4...; 2, 4, 6, 8... etc.) or dates, you can enter at least two starting values and quickly extend the series selecting these cells and dragging the fill handle.
Fill cells in the column with text values
If a column in your spreadsheet contains some text values, you can easily replace any value within this column or fill the next blank cell selecting one of already existing text values.
Right-click the necessary cell and choose the Select from drop-down list option in the contextual menu.
Select one of the available text values to replace the current one or fill an empty cell.
