How do you Copy a range of cells in Excel on a Mac?

I'm trying to move my training data from a table to a more aesthetic view for my boss. Currently I'm using a formula in the pretty view to grab data for the first person, but I have to modify each person afterwards, because copying the first block of cells (A3:U10) results in getting data for the person ~7 rows down. Considering I have ~90 students to keep track of, this is less than desirable.

Table example:
1Name|Enrolled A|Score A|Enrolled B|Score B
2Name|Enrolled A|Score A|Enrolled B|Score B
...
7Name|Enrolled A|Score A|Enrolled B|Score B

Aesthetic example:
1NAME|Other|Other| | A | B |
Other| Other|Other| | Other | Other | Other | Other |
Other| Other|Other| |Enrolled A| Score A|Enrolled B| Score B|

7NAME|Other|Other| | A | B |
Other| Other|Other| | Other | Other | Other | Other |
Other| Other|Other| |Enrolled A| Score A|Enrolled B| Score B|

18NAME|Other|Other| | A | B |
Other | Other|Other| | Other | Other | Other | Other |
Other | Other|Other| |Enrolled A| Score A|Enrolled B| Score B|

If you want to copy just one cell, simply click once on that cell. IF you want to copy multiple cells, click and drag until all the cells you intend to copy are selected.

2. Copy the Cell or Cells

The next step is to actually copy the cells. You can do this by pressing control+C on a PC (command+C on a Mac), or by clicking the Copy button in the ribbon at the top of the Excel window. You’ll know you’ve copied a cell or cells when you see a spinning dotted line surrounding the copied area.

3. Choose Where You Want the Copied Cells to Go

Next, click once on the cell where you want the copied cells to go. If you’ve copied multiple cells, click the cell where you want the top left cell in your selection to go.

4. Paste the Copied Content into the New Location

Now that you’ve selected the cell where you want your copied content to appear, use the paste function to place the copied content in the new location. To do this, click on the Paste button in the ribbon (near the Copy button), or press control+V (command+V on a Mac). The material you had copied will now appear in the new location. If the copied material was in a cell that contained a formula, the formula will be copied, too.

Please note that if you’ve selected a location that already has content in it, the old content will be overwritten by the new content. Usually, that’s exactly what people are intending to do, but it’s important to note how this works.

Advanced Techniques

Now that you understand the basics, check out these two advanced techniques.

Paste Options

If your copy and pasting doesn’t work as planned, try this. Click on the clipboard next to the cell you just pasted into. Hover over the buttons and choose the one that sounds like what you’re trying to do.

Smart Fill

Select some data. See the green square at the bottom right? Try dragging that square down or sideways. With some data, Excel can intelligently populate either data or formulas to help you work more quickly.

Drag the fill handle down, up, or across the cells that you want to fill. In this example, the figure here shows dragging the fill handle down:

When you let go, the formula gets automatically filled to the other cells:

To change how you want to fill cells, click the Auto Fill Options button

that appears after you finish dragging, and pick the option that want.

Tips: 

• You can also press Ctrl+D to fill the formula down in a column. First select the cell that has the formula you want to fill, then select the cells underneath it, and then press Ctrl+D.

• You can also press Ctrl+R to fill the formula to the right in a row. First select the cell that has the formula you want to fill, then select the cells to the right of it, and then press Ctrl+R.
