Hi Paul, I don't wanna copy the formula, just wanna copy the text after "=". Sometimes there is a long string after "=", and I wanna copy that string instead of typing it at other place:) If there is not shortcut, is there any way at all..hehe
Well, regarding Ctrl+D : If there is formula in the above cell, actually when you use Ctrl+D, the below cell copies the formula as well. That is totally same as Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V...I don't know what makes Ctrl+D different?
