Part 2/8:
Instead of laboriously navigating through menus, Excel 365 users can instantly paste copied values using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + V. For earlier versions, Control + Alt + V opens the Paste Special dialog. To efficiently handle formatted cells or values with embedded formulas, these shortcuts save time and reduce frustration.
For example, if you need to paste data into cells with improper date formatting and unwanted dollar signs, simply copy the desired data, select the destination cell, and use the shortcut. This method can evolve into an efficient tool as repetition builds your speed.
