After entering the data in every cell of the worksheet and you might want to edit or adjust to make it more visible and display the way you want, you can do that anytime in Excel.
In this article you will learn how to edit data, from copying, moving, wrap text and AutoFit the column width and Row height.
Copy Text
To copy text or any number in Excel, select the cell/cells that you want to copy and right click on the selected cell, then select “Copy” or you can make a keyboard shortcut “CTRL+C” and select the cell when you want it to copy, then perform CTRL+V to paste the copied text. All the formattings and formulas in the cell are also copied.
Moving Text
Highlight the cells to select which one you want to move, then position your mouse pointer into the edge of the selected cells to turn the pointer into four-headed arrow and drag the selected cells where you want it to be. You can also use a keyboard shortcut, CTRL+X and CTRL+V.
