Learn All About Paste Special Options In MS Excel

Copy and Paste are the most powerful options in MS Excel. If we use excel for 1 hour, I am sure we use these two options more than couple of times. I can say, without these options excel is nothing.

Short Cuts:
  • Copy - Ctrl + C  (or)  Right Click, C  (or)  Alt + E, C (or) Ctrl + Insert
  • Direct Paste - Ctrl + V  (or)  Right Click, P  (or)  Alt + E, P (or) Right Click, S, A  (or)  Alt + E, S, A
Excel given us, 10 wonderful options for pasting Copied data apart from Direct Paste.
