Maybe you are familiar with the basic copy and paste feature, whereby Excel copies all the information in the range of cells you selected: formatting, formulas, text, and other values you enter.

This page going to explains to you the paste special options.

  • In the Operation section, select the available suitable option.
  • For example, if you select the Add option, Excel adds the corresponding values in the source range and the destination range and replaces the destination range with the new values.
  • The Skip Blanks option prevents Excel from overwriting cell contents in your paste area with blank cells from the copied range. It is useful if you’re copying a range to another area but don’t want the blank cells in the copied range to overwrite existing data.
  • The Transpose option can change the orientation of the pasted entries. For example, if the original cells’ entries run down the rows of a single column of the worksheet, the transposed pasted entries will run across the columns of a single row (see steps below).

    To use the Transpose option

  • Select the range of data you wish to copy and transpose.
  • On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Copy icon.
    OR press Ctrl+C
  • Click the cell where you want to place the range.
  • On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the down arrow of the Paste icon and click Transpose.
