Copying columns in excel - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

When you move or copy rows and columns, by default Excel moves or copies all data that they contain, including formulas and their resulting values, comments, cell formats, and hidden cells.

When you copy cells that contain a formula, the relative cell references are not adjusted. Therefore, the contents of cells and of any cells that point to them might display the #REF! error value. If that happens, you can adjust the references manually. For more information, see Detect errors in formulas.

You can use the Cut command or Copy command to move or copy selected cells, rows, and columns, but you can also move or copy them by using the mouse.

By default, Excel displays the Paste Options button. If you need to redisplay it, go to Advanced in Excel Options. For more information, see Advanced options.

You can move or copy selected cells, rows, and columns by using the mouse and Transpose.

Select the cells or range of cells that you want to move or copy.
Point to the border of the cell or range that you selected.
When the pointer becomes a , do one of the following:

To	Do this
Move cells	Drag the cells to another location.
Copy cells	Hold down OPTION and drag the cells to another location.

Note: When you drag or paste cells to a new location, if there is pre-existing data in that location, Excel will overwrite the original data.

Select the rows or columns that you want to move or copy.
Point to the border of the cell or range that you selected.
When the pointer becomes a , do one of the following:

To	Do this
Move rows or columns	Drag the rows or columns to another location.
Copy rows or columns	Hold down OPTION and drag the rows or columns to another location.
Move or copy data between existing rows or columns	Hold down SHIFT and drag your row or column between existing rows or columns. Excel makes space for the new row or column.

Copy the rows or columns that you want to transpose.
Select the destination cell (the first cell of the row or column into which you want to paste your data) for the rows or columns that you are transposing.
On the Home tab, under Edit, click the arrow next to Paste, and then click Transpose.

Note: Columns and rows cannot overlap. For example, if you select values in Column C, and try to paste them into a row that overlaps Column C, Excel displays an error message. The destination area of a pasted column or row must be outside the original values.

Copying a Column As-Is Using a Keyboard Shortcut

Suppose you have a dataset as shown below and you want to copy column A and paste it as Column D.

For the purpose of illustration, I have also highlighted Column A in yellow color.

If all you want is to copy a column and paste it, below are the steps to get this done:

Select the column that you want to copy. To do this, click on the column header letter (which is at the top of the column)

With the entire column selected, use the keyboard shortcut – Control + C (or Command + C if using Mac). This will copy the entire selected column (you will see dancing ants at the borders)
Select the destination column where you want to paste the copied column
Paste it using the keyboard shortcut – Control + V (or Command + V if using a Mac)

The above steps would copy the selected column and paste it into the destination.

Note that this would copy everything from the source column to the destination column (including values, formatting, and formulas).

In case there is conditional formatting applied in the column, it would also be copied.

For this to work, you will have to select an entire destination column. If you only select a cell or a range in the destination column (as not the whole column), you will get an error.

Note: In this example, I have used the keyboard shortcuts Control + C and Control + V. You can also get the same thing by right-clicking on the selection and then clicking on Copy or Paste options.

Copying a Column As-Is Using a Keyboard+ Mouse Trick

Another really quick way to copy a column and paste it into the destination is by using a simple keyboard and mouse combo.

Suppose you have a dataset as shown below and you want to copy column A and paste it over Column D.

Below are the steps to do this:

Select the column that you want to copy

Hold the Control key (or Command key in Mac)
Place the mouse cursor at the edge of the selected column. You will notice that it changes to pointed arrow with a plus sign

Place the cursor at the edge of the selection

With the Control/Command key pressed, press the left mouse key and drag the column to the position where you want it copied

The above steps would copy and then paste the columns that you dragged to the destination location.

Note that this technique will also work with multiple contiguous columns, but it won’t work with non-contiguous columns. For example, if you select columns A and D, then you won’t be able to use this, but you can use this if you select columns A and B.

Copy Paste a Column using Paste Special (Copy Value or Formatting or Formula Only)

Many times, you don’t need to copy the entire column with all the data and the formatting and formulas.

You may only need to copy the formatting or only copy the values without the formatting.

This can easily be done using the paste special feature in Excel.

Paste Special allows to copy and then paste specific elements from the copied data (such as values or formulas or formatting)

Suppose you have a dataset as shown below, and you want to copy and paste only values from column A to column D.

Below are the steps to do this using Paste Special:

Select the column that you want to copy (column A in this example)
Copy the column (or the range in the column). You can do this using Control + C (or Command + C) or right-click on the selection and then click on Copy
Right-clcik on the destination cell (D1 in this example)
Click on Paste Special option. This will open the Paste Special dialog box

Select Values

Select Value in the Paste Special dialog box

Click Ok

The above steps copy the entire column A, but only paste the values and not the formatting.

If you only want to paste the formatting, you can select the ‘Formats’ option in the Paste Special dialog box.

In case you want to copy values as well as formatting (but nothing else such as formulas), you can repeat the process twice. So copy Column A, then first paste values and then paste formatting.

Shortcut to Open Paste Special dialog box: ALT + E + S

Some other options that you get when using Paste Special:

Column width
Formulas
Formulas and Number formats
Values and Number formats
Everything except the borders
Comments and Notes
Data validation (drop down lists)

So these are some of the ways you can use to copy and paste columns in Excel.

If you want to copy the entire column, you can use the first two methods, and in case you want to selectively copy something from the column, then you can use the Paste Special technique.

Home / Excel Basics / How to Copy and Paste a Column in Excel

Copying the data is a very frequent task in our day-to-day lives while working in Excel or any other word processing software. Usually, we have to copy a single cell from one place to another or even sometimes in a different worksheet also. It is very easy to do.

But when it comes to copying multiple continuous cells as well as non-adjacent cells then we all find ourselves in very big trouble.

In this tutorial, we will learn methods to copy the single or multiple (continuous, and non-continuous) columns. Now, let’s go through it step-by-step.

First, select the entire column from its Column Header Letter on the top of it that you want to copy.
Then, press the right-click button on the mouse and select the “Copy” option from the pop-up box.
After this, select the range of cells of that particular column where you wish to “Paste” your data.
Once you are selecting the range, click on the right key of the mouse and choose the paste option from it.

Copying the Column by using a Keyboard Shortcut

Here’s an easier way to copy and paste the data by using the keyboard shortcut instead of doing it manually.

First of all, click on any cell of the column that you want to copy.
From here, select the entire column by holding the shortcut key that is (Control + Spacebar).
Next, you can copy the selected column by pressing the Control + C button on the keyboard.
Now, you’ll see that column is highlighted, and then paste it by using the Control + V.

Copy and Paste Multiple Adjacent Columns

If you want to copy multiple columns of the spreadsheet at the same time, you can do this. Here, below are the steps.

Select the multiple columns in a sequence with the left key of your mouse by the column header.
Next, right-click on the selected columns.
Click on the “Copy” option from the dialog box to select the entire data.
Now, you’ll see that column is highlighted, and then paste it by using the Control + V.

Important Note: Make sure that you have enough blank columns where you would like to paste your data or in case you already have something in that range of cells, then it would be overwritten.

Copy Multiple Non-Adjacent Columns

The simplest way to copy multiple non-adjacent columns is by using the CTRL key. Let’s do it stepwise.

In your worksheet, select the first column by clicking on its header.
After that, click on the next columns one by one that you want to highlight by holding down the Control key.
Following this, right-click on any of the selected columns and choose “Copy” from the dialog box.
Now, you’ll see all the selected columns have been highlighted on the sheet.
In the end, select the destination cell where you would like to paste your data and by pressing Control + V you can paste it.

Copy and Paste the column is from the Ribbon

It is an interesting thing to know that you can also copy and paste the values from the ribbon. Let’s do it by the following steps:

First, select all the columns that you wish to copy.
Then, go to the Home tab and from the Clipboard> choose Copy or either use (Ctrl + C) from the keyboard to copy the columns.
Select the particular cell where you wish to paste your data.
And then, click on the paste from the Ribbon or you can use the shortcut that is (Ctrl + V).

So, these are the ways by which you can copy and paste columns in excel.

Moreover, if you want to copy multiple non-adjacent columns then you can use the third method for this.

Along with this, the above-given shortcut of copy and paste will help you to compile your data as soon as possible.

How to copy a table in Excel by saving the format cells

Those who regularly work in Microsoft Excel often wonder how to copy the table data properly, retaining the format, formulas or their values.

How to paste a formula in an Excel table retaining the format? It’s possible to save a truckload of time solving this task. For this, we will use the function «Paste Special». It’s a simple tool that allows for solving complicated tasks quickly and mastering the basics of its usage. This unsophisticated tool is employed to quickly apply the same format to all tables and achieve the necessary result.

How to copy a table retaining column width and row height

Let’s assume we have a table, the format of which needs to be preserved when you copy it:

When you copy it to a different spreadsheet using the usual Ctrl+C – Ctrl+V method, the result is far from desired:

You will have to adjust the column width manually, whipping it into the convenient shape. If the table is large, you will be fiddling around for quite a while. However, there is a way to significantly reduce your loss of time.

Method 1. Using paste special

Select the initial table that needs to be copied, and press Ctrl+C.
Select the new (already copied) table, where you need to apply the column width format, and right-click on a cell. Find the line «Paste Special» (CTRL+ALT+V) in the drop-down menu.
In the dialog window, select the option «Column widths», and click «ОК».

The table now features the initial parameters and looks perfect.

Method 2. Selecting the columns before copying

This method has a secret: if you select the columns together with their headings before copying the table, the width of every column will also be copied when you paste it.

Select the columns containing the initial data.
Copy and paste to quickly obtain the desired result.

It’s rational to use each of the methods depending on the task. However, the second method allows to both quickly carry the table over together with the format, and copy the row height. Note that the paste special menu lacks the option “row height.” Thus, you will need to take the following steps to fulfill such a task:

Select the all rows and column on sheet (CTRL+A).
Paste its copy below.

Helpful hint! The quickest way to copy a large and complicated table retaining its column width and row height is to copy it as an entire sheet.

While holding the CTRL key, drag the tab of the sheet.

How to paste formula values retaining table format

Although the paste special tool is not perfect, you should not underestimate its capabilities. For example, let’s view how to copy the value of a formula into an Excel table retaining the cell format.

Select the initial table containing the formulas and copy it.
In the spot where you need to paste the range of values (without the formulas), select the «Values» option. Click OK.

Since the copied range is still in the clipboard after you copied it, proceed to open the paste special dialog again and select the option «Formats». Click OK.

We have pasted the values of the formulas in the table retaining the cell format. As you might have guessed, you can also take a third step and copy the column width as described above.

Microsoft Excel offers users virtually limitless possibilities for calculating the simplest functions and fulfilling a number of other tasks. The program allows you to set formats, save cell values, work with formulas, transfer and change them in a convenient way.

Let’s say that you have a spreadsheet with multiple rows and columns. You need to move some rows or columns from one place to another to match something in the sheet. When you move a column, the associated formulas do not move alongside. However, this guide will help you to move a column or row along with the formula. Although it is not possible to cut or copy a row or column along with the applied formula, you can identify the cells and apply the same formula again.
