Copying Data

Copying data is similar to moving data, except that both the original data and the copied data remain in your spreadsheet. You can use the copy command to duplicate table headings or entire ranges of data.

To copy and paste data, follow these steps:

1.	Select the cell or range of cells to copy. (You can cut individual cells, entire rows and columns, or marked cell ranges. Use your mouse or the keyboard to select the range.)
2.	With the selected highlighted, click the Copy button.
3.	Move the cursor to the first cell where you want to paste your data. There is no need to select the entire range, just the first (upper-left) cell of the range.
4.	Click the Paste button.

Google places a copy of the selected data in the new location.

Tip

You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts when copying and pasting data: CopyCtrl+C or Ctrl+Delete or Ctrl+Insert; PasteCtrl+V.
