Google Sheets


Getting Started with Google Sheets
To copy and paste cells:
It's easy to copy content that is already entered into your spreadsheet and paste that content to other cells.
- Select the cells you wish to copy.
- Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac) on your keyboard to copy the cells.
Selecting the cell to copy
- Select the cell or cells where you wish to paste the cells. The copied cells will now have a box around them.
Choosing the destination for the copied cell
- Press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac) on your keyboard to paste the cells.
The copied and pasted cell content
To cut and paste cells:
Unlike copying and pasting, which duplicates cell content, cutting and pasting moves content between cells.
- Select the cells you wish to cut.
Selecting the cell to cut
- Press Ctrl+X (Windows) or Command+X (Mac) on your keyboard to cut the cells. The cell content will remain in its original location until the cells are pasted.
- Select the cell or cells where you wish to paste the cells.
Choosing the destination for the cut cell
- Press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac) on your keyboard to paste the cells.
The cut and pasted cell content
There may be times when you want to copy and paste only certain parts of a cell's content. In these cases, you can use the Paste Special option. Click Edit in the toolbar menu, hover the mouse over Paste Special, and select your desired paste option from the drop-down menu.
