Cut, Copy, Paste

Freebeginner 15 min4 tasks0/66 pts

Ctrl+C copies, Ctrl+X cuts and Ctrl+V pastes. Cutting moves cells (the originals are cleared); copying duplicates them. Ctrl+Shift+V pastes values only (Microsoft 365), which turns a formula’s result into a plain number. In older versions press Ctrl+Alt+V to open Paste Special, then V and Enter. Formulas you copy adjust their references to the new place.

Example: Copy D2 (a formula) and paste values only to keep the result without the formula.

Common mistakes

Pasting a formula somewhere its references point at empty cells.
Forgetting that cut removes the original once you paste.
