About This Shortcut
The default behavior for drag and drop is to cut data in cells, but you can also copy cells during drag and drop. To copy cells, use this shortcut before or after you start to drag the selection. Excel will display a small plus (+) symbol to indicate the copy operation.
About This Shortcut
By default, when you drag a selection to a new location, the values in the selection will overwrite cells at the new location. Use this shortcut to insert cells at the new location. This also works when dragging entire rows or columns.
