## Operations

Select the operation to apply when you paste cells into your sheet.

### None

Does not apply an operation when you insert the cell range from the clipboard. The contents of the clipboard will replace existing cell contents.

### Subtract

Subtracts the values in the clipboard cells from the values in the target cells.

### Multiply

Multiplies the values in the clipboard cells with the values in the target cells.

### Divide

Divides the values in the target cells by the values in the clipboard cells.

## Options

### Skip empty cells

Empty cells from the clipboard do not replace target cells. If you use this option in conjunction with the "Multiply" or the "Divide" operation, the operation is not applied to the target cell of an empty cell in the clipboard.

If you select a mathematical operation and clear the Skip empty cells box, empty cells in the clipboard are treated as zeroes. For example, if you apply the Multiply operation, the target cells are filled with zeroes.

### Transpose

The rows of the range in the clipboard are pasted to become columns of the output range. The columns of the range in the clipboard are pasted to become rows.

### Link

Inserts the cell range as a link, so that changes made to the cells in the source file are updated in the target file. To ensure that changes made to empty cells in the source file are updated in the target file, ensure that the "Insert All" option is also selected.

You can also link sheets within the same spreadsheet. When you link to other files, a DDE link is automatically created. A DDE link is inserted as a matrix formula and can only be modified as a whole.

## Shift Cells

Set the shift options for the target cells when the clipboard content is inserted.

### Don't shift

Inserted cells replace the target cells.

### Down

Target cells are shifted downward when you insert cells from the clipboard.

### Right

Target cells are shifted to the right when you insert cells from the clipboard.
