Copy and paste cell contents
When you copy content from a range of cells, you can select a single cell as the paste destination, and the pasted content fills the same number of cells in the new location. When you select multiple cells as the paste destination, the content fills those cells.
Select a cell or range of cells you want to copy, then do one of the following:
On a Mac: Press Command-C.
On a Windows computer: Press Control-C.
Select a cell or cells where you want to paste the content, then do one of the following:

On a Windows computer: Press Control-V.
Autofill adjacent cells
You can quickly fill a row or column with a logical sequence of data, for example, a series of digits, dates, or letters.
Enter the first two items in the series in the first two cells of the row or column you want to fill.
For example, enter A and B or January 1 and January 2 in the first two cells.
Select the two cells, then drag the small circle at the bottom right of the selection along the row or column where you want the sequence to continue.
