Copying cells and pasting in multiple cells is very easy in Microsoft Excel. We can copy a single cell and select the target range of cells to paste. We can do this manually, using built in commands available in excel or we can also do it using shortcut keys.
Copy Same Value in Multiple Cells
You can enter same value in multiple cells simultaneously, it is very useful to fill range of cells at the same time.

Copy using Auto fill Method
If you want to copy the cell into the cells which are adjacent to the source cell. Then you can use this method.
