About This Feature

Overview

Copy, paste, and cut help you reuse or move spreadsheet cell content quickly in WPS on Android. By pressing and holding a cell to open the floating menu, you can copy, paste, cut, and in some cases paste values only.

Core tasks include:

Copying one cell or a selected range.
Pasting content and formatting into a target area.
Moving content by cutting and then pasting it.
Pasting values only when you want to avoid bringing over the original formatting.

This workflow is useful for daily data cleanup, mobile spreadsheet updates, and faster entry across different areas of a worksheet.

Capability Summary	Supports cell-based copy, paste, and cut in spreadsheets on Android through a press-and-hold floating menu, with paste-values-only available in some scenarios.	Excel for Android supports selecting cells, dragging selection handles, and opening a contextual menu by double-tapping or pressing and holding a cell.	Google Sheets on Android supports selecting content, tapping Copy, then pressing and holding the destination to paste.	Notion help content mainly covers copying, moving, and duplicating pages or content blocks, and its database columns are not spreadsheet cells.	Adobe Acrobat mobile documentation focuses on copying text from PDFs rather than spreadsheet-style cell editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps copy, paste, and cut centered on spreadsheet cells in one mobile editing flow, which fits quick worksheet updates on Android.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses more on touch gestures and contextual menus, with less direct detail about spreadsheet paste variations such as pasting values only.	Compared with WPS: the official page describes a shared copy-and-paste flow across Docs, Sheets, and Slides, so the spreadsheet cell workflow is described more generally.	Compared with WPS: it is better aligned with page and database organization than with spreadsheet cell editing.	Compared with WPS: it is designed for PDF text extraction rather than spreadsheet cell operations.
