I want to copy my data which i have carefully formatted and designed , and paste it on another location of same worksheet but i want to pasted data to retain formatting and formula must be removed only value remain in their place.
what could be workaround to do the above mentioned task in excel 2013/2010 ?
Do it in two steps
copy formatting with one of the following methods
select the source and press the bruch icon, then click the left upper corner of the destination
simply copy the source onto the destination, knowing that you will overwrite the formulas in the next step.
z. copy values
select the source again and press the copy item (or faster: press [CTRL]-C), then right- click the left upper corner of the destination and select the numbers icon.
in older versoins of excel, this is an ootion in edit _ copy special

I have a large file with a Scenario Manager, where changing a single cell on the Summary worksheet changes the visible scenario throughout the rest of the workbook. Data Tables are working a treat providing the headline values for each option.
I'd like to have a drop down on each sheet that when changed will change the same single cell on the Summary worksheet, so I don't need to go back to the Summary sheet every time I want to switch visible scenarios.
This is a simple process if I'm using macros and would be the solution I'd normally jump straight to. But this needs to be done without macros and this is where I'm now struggling.
Does anyone know if this is possible (without macros) and point me in the right direction?

You can insert combo box (Developer Tab > Insert > Form Controls > Combo Box) on each sheet. Mention linked cell as a cell of the summary sheet (Absolute reference with sheet name). That cell will give you index of the item selected in the drop down list. Then you can insert index formula in the cell you want to change every time to get value of the drop down list. Once you insert it on one sheet you can copy it to other sheets. No macros required.
I have data in one workbook and I have filtered columns in another workbook, when I want to copy the data from one workbook and paste it to the visible cells in the filtered area, it gets pasted to the hidden cells as well.
I googled alot but nothing was useful even I tried the Kutools software but did not work.
How to paste the data into visible cells?
A workaround I like to use is to use reference in the filtered sheet. Slightly longer method, but it works. Follow the steps below
Set the reference in first cell. E.g. ='Sheet1!A1'
Click and drag to copy the formula to all cells below (or Copy, and Paste into multiple selection). DO NOT double click to fill down, as it will include hidden cells.
If needed, clear filter and copy- paste values
Let me know if this works for you.
I am working on the following sheet, called Raw_Data:
In a new sheet, I want to copy the registration_date column by reference. This means that if I change the registration_date on the Raw_Data, the changed value should be reflected in the new sheet.
To implement this, I have entered the following =Raw_Data!C2. So far it works fine as you can see below:
But the problem is that when I double click on the little green square here, it doesn't automatically populate the entire column.
I don't want to manually drag-and-drop because there are several thousand rows. Does anyone know how I could automatically populate the column by reference?
While there are some automation things you could do, I think a lot of that would be overkill for what could be just an input issue with how you are choosing to copy in Excel.
If you find that you need to copy a large block of data, rather than dragging the corner of your cell like that, try one of these alternate methods:
While selected on the cell, press CNTRL + C. Then in the 'Name Box' (where it shows the address of the cell you are on), type in the cell where you want to go (A17000); then press SHIFT + ENTER. This will jump you to that cell, and will highlight all cells inbetween where you were and where you are going. Then press CNTRL + V.
Another method of moving around a large data block in Excel is to hold CNTRL and press an arrow key. This will move you as far down the data block as possible. Note that this will not work on a blank sheet, as there is no data and therefore Excel doesn't know when to stop.
Again - some automation would be possible here, but moving around an Excel worksheet is something you will be doing too frequently in too many different ways to want to automate what might be 5 keystrokes once a week.
In excel the "double click to fill" feature is a heuristic based feature that fills the cells that appear to be relevant with the selected formula (+ reference corrections).
In your case there is no hint the heuristic can use to tell what to fill so nothing is being done.
Regarding dragging "several thousand rows", that's not a real problem. If you only do it once, there no reason to even trying anything "smart" or complicated.
You can also copy the source cell, select all the cells you want to fill and then paste. You can select cells in any way you like, not just dragging.
You could instead of all the dragging/copying/filling approach simply copy directly from the source, and paste by reference.
As a last resort, you can always go for a VBA solution to do that for you.
I created a series of cells with icon set. How can copy the last cell to another sheet including the icon set it currently have?. When i copied the last cell to another sheet, it does not preserve the same icon set.
With an in-built formula it can't be done without using something like VBA as well.
According to requirement I need to copy few columns like A1 S1 K1 from one excel sheet to another in the same excel workbook.
Select a cell in the column you wish to copy.
Press Ctrl+space (as in the space bar!). This selects the entire column.
Press Ctrl+C. This is the keyboard shortcut for Copy.
Move to the other sheet. Select a cell IN ROW ONE where you want the copied data to appear.
Press Ctrl+V. This is the keyboard shortcut for Paste.
I feel quite certain that this is not what you need. However, it answers the question you asked.
