Copy and paste

You can paste values from external applications, or from such as Microsoft Excel.

User interface

Support for the right-click user interface varies by browser. Some browsers display cut, copy, and paste options when you right-click a cell or range of cells; others do not. However, all browsers support keyboard shortcuts:

  • CTRL+x - cut
  • CTRL+c - copy
  • CTRL+v - paste

Paste behavior

When you paste to a single cell, the contents of the clipboard are pasted with the selected cell as the initial insertion point, and the paste operation expands to other cells as required.

When you paste to a selected range of cells, and that range is smaller than contents of the clipboard, you are notified that the paste operation will modify cells beyond the selected range. You have the option of accepting or canceling the paste operation.

There is a 60,000 cell limit for pasting into the Cube Viewer. If you try to paste more than 60,000 cells an error will be displayed.
