I have to use Excel for work. When I right click to paste data, now there's a bullshit Copilot command right where Paste (edit: actually "insert copied cells") used to be. I swear they chose that spot just because it's used a lot and they knew they could cram it in more people's faces that way.
Ctrl + v
Or is that copilot too now!?! Oh dear, don't give them ideas.
There's a multitude of different paste options in Excel, based on whether you want to copy the whole cell, just the value, the formula that produced the value, just the format, a link to the original cell, or an assortment of more specialized options.
So Ctrl+V does work, but it doesn't always paste what you thought you copied.
Uuuh, insert Ralph "im in danger" meme. I would never catch that error.
Comes with experience.
I guess it's specifically "insert copied cells" that I was thinking of.
