It’s hard to imagine the work of an Internet marketer without spreadsheets. Excel from MS Office used to be the main tool, but now more and more specialists are switching to Google Sheets. And they are understandable.

After all, this service from Google is completely free. In addition, you don’t need to send files to each other a thousand times, because the joint work is implemented in such a way that it’s convenient for users.

All changes to the document are saved automatically. There is version history. This means that you can, if necessary, revert to the point at which things went wrong. You can also set up automatic data import from third-party sources. This can be analytics services, advertising offices, call-tracking, etc.

Google Sheets is a very versatile and functional tool with a lot of features and use cases. If you are new to this service, you probably don’t know how to use some options.

So, here’s how to copy a sheet to another workbook in Google Sheets in different ways.

To enter data into the table, simply place the cursor on a cell and start typing from the keyboard. You can move around the sheet using the mouse, arrows, and hotkeys. To edit data in a cell, double-click it, press “Enter”, or place the cursor on the formula line.

This is convenient when you work with large arrays – see publications by individual site or content type in a voluminous content plan, analyze data on achieving one goal in an analytical report.
