Let us perform these operations.
Cut, Copy and Paste Data
We can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands in Microsoft Excel to move or copy entire cell
content. When we use the Cut command, the content is moved to the new place and removed
from its original place. In case of the Copy command, content is copied at the new place and also
exist at its original place. The Paste command is used to paste the copied/cut data.
When you move or copy a cell, Excel moves or copies the entire cell contents and cell formatting.
