Copy, cut and paste

Just as with most other computer applications, Excel allows you to copy data and paste it somewhere else in the spreadsheet.

Copying
Information is copied to a part of the computer’s memory called the Clipboard.
Pasting
Information from the computer’s Clipboard is pasted into your document.
Cutting
As with copying, the information is copied to the computer's Clipboard. However the original information is deleted from the document.
